Quetion 4 [ircuit Variable and OpAmp ircuit Deign] When two different metal wire are placed in contact (creating a junction) a voltage appear that i proportional to the junction temperature and the material propertie. A pair of wire made with different material connected at one end a in the next figure i known a a thermocouple, and i a very popular temperature enor. No voltage appear on junction made of ame material becaue of temperature. The point B and B are at the ame temperature T B. B metal x A B metal y A good model for the thermocouple junction i a a voltage ource with voltage v K KT, where K and K are contant that depend only on the material ued in the junction and T i the junction temperature. A imple circuit model for the above thermocouple i given in the next diagram, where x and y repreent the reitance of the wire, which are eentially function of the cro ection area and length of the thermocouple. It i fair to aume that x y. B x A B y v K KT A A thermocouple made with metal x being copper and metal y being contantan can meaure temperature in the range -200 o to 350 o with K 43µ V/ o. The voltage v i meaured from the copper terminal () to the contantan terminal (). A you will ee oon, the value of K i not important. a) [3 mark] A friend of your uggeted that you can meaure the temperature of point A (T A ) by imply connecting a voltmeter with copper lead to the point B and B and meaure the reulting voltage in and (internal to the voltmeter), a in the next figure. The point B and B are at the ame temperature T B. The point and are at the ame temperature T. Draw the circuit diagram correponding to thi etup and how that he/he i not correct: thi etup can only meaure V V K(T A T B ). (Hint: remember that a voltage appear on all junction made with different material!) V copper copper B B copper contantan A 5
Becaue the junction B ha two different metal the circuit diagram of the above etup i a follow: z B x A z B y v K KT A v K KT B Becaue no current flow into the voltmeter, then a tated. V V ( K KT A ) ( K KT B ) K(T A T B ) K(T A T B ) One way of overcomming the above problem i to let the temperature T B be known. A popular approach i to have the junction B be immered in a bath of water and ice, in which the temperature i exactly 0.0 o (known a the triple point of water) o that T A T B (V V )/K (V V )/K. b) [4 mark] Aume that T B i in a cold bath at the triple point of water (aume T B 0) and deign an OpAmp circuit to be connected at - that output a voltage v 0 αt A, where α 0 m V/ o. Note that thi circuit hould make the meaurement independent of the wire reitance. If the OpAmp i powered with 0V and 0V what i the temperature range that you can meaure accurately with your circuit? Becaue T A (V V )/K our circuit have to implement the function with gain v 0 αt A (α/k)(v V ) α K 0 03 V/ o 43 0 6 V/ o 0 43 03 232. One poible anwer i to ue a non-inverting amplifier etup 6
2 V V v 0 with gain 2 2 232. Thi configuration ha a high input impedance o the effect of the ohmic wire reitance i minized. Poible (unrealitic) choice for and 2 that could be ued are KΩ, 2 23KΩ. We hould be able to read temperature while the OpAmp tay in the linear range. So we look for the aturation point: 0 0 3 T low 0 T low 000 o, 0 0 3 T high 0 T high 000 o. A the thermocouple i accurate in the range [200,350] o we hould be able to read accurately the entire cale of the thermocouple. Indeed, we could have ued a higher gain to enhance the circuit reolution, perhap uing two tage of amplification. Another way of overcomming the temperature reference problem i to directly meaure the temperature T B. The jutification for thi i that T B i the temperature of a controlled environment, ay your workbench, while T A may be an extreme temperature you re trying to meaure. Therefore, you could ue a temperature enor to meaure T B that i le expenive or perhap acurate only on ambient temperature. One uch device i called a termitor, which i a reitor whoe reitance varie with the temperature. Termitor are typically accurate and approximately linear from 0 o to a dozen degree above ambient temperature. c) [2 mark] You have a linear termitor with a reitance of 30KΩ at 0 o and a reitance of 0KΩ at 20 o. Show that the relationhip between the termitor reitance ( T ) and the termitor temperature (T B ) i T (30 T B ) 0 3 Ω. Up to what temperature do you think thi termitor i acurate (or at leat linear)? Why? 7
Becaue the termitor i linear it hould atify T at B b for ome a and b. Evaluating T at T B 0 o and T B 20 o yield a 0b b 30 0 3 Ω, a 20b 0 0 3 Ω from where b 30 0 3 a (0 0 3 b)/20 (0 0 3 30 0 3 )/20 0 3 Ω/ o. Hence T (30 T B ) 0 3 Ω. You hould tart being upiciou about thi termitor model when it reache temperature for which T become near zero, that i, near (30 T B ) 0 3 0 T B 30 o. You hould then worry about uing it in a hot day or improve your linear aumption :). d) [Bonu: 4 mark] Uing the above relationhip between the termitor reitance and temperature find value for the component, 3 and 4 o that the following circuit produce v 0 αt B, where α 0 mv/ o and T B i the temperature of the termitor and the junction B.
