Radiation Pyrometry

By

     When temperature to be measured is high and physical contact with the heat body is impossible, radiation pyrometer are used. Radiation pyrometers are used under conditions where corrosive vapours or liquid would destroy thermocouples, resistance thermometer and Thermistor. These pyrometers also find applications where the temperatures are above the range of thermocouple. Basically, thermal radiations are electromagnetic radiation lies in the wavelength region from about 0.1 to 100 micrometer.

A typical Radiation pyrometer:

             The radiation pyrometer measures the heat emitted by a hot object. The radiation pyrometers operate on the principle that the energy radiated from a hot body is a function of its temperature.

             The energy radiated by the hot body whose temperature is measured is focused by the lens to the detector. The detector is a thermocouple or bolometer (bolometer is a thermal device that changes electrical resistance with temperature change). The detector output is given to a PMMC instrument, digital display or recorder.

Principle used for radiation pyrometer:

          There are two principle used for the consrution of radiation temperature measuring devices,

Total radiation pyrometer

         In this, total radiant energy from a heated body is measured.

Selective radiation pyrometer

                In this, the radiated energy from the heated body is measured at a given wavelength.

Average and Square Root Using 8085

By
AVERAGE OF N NUMBERS AIM:       To write an assembly language program that finds the average of N numbers and executes the program using 8085 microprocessor kit. APPARATUS REQUIRED: 8085 microprocessor kit, power supply. ALGORITHM: STEP 1: Load HL register pair with a memory pointer. STEP 2: Get the count to B register and clear accumulator. STEP 3: Push the count to stack pointer. STEP 4: Increment memory pointer. STEP 5: Add the content of memory location to accumulator. STEP 6: If carry results increment D register. STEP 7: Decrement count. If it is not zero go to STEP 4. STEP 8: Else move the sum to E register. STEP 9: Get the count from stack pointer. STEP10: Subtract the count from sum(content of DE pair). STEP11:If the subtraction results a carry add the count to the result and get the remainder STEP12: Otherwise increment B register content and go to STEP10. STEP 13: Store the quotient and remainder in successive memory location. PROGRAM:

Laws of Thermocouple

By
The Seebeck Effect A German physician turned physicist named Thomas Johann Seebeck took two different metals, with one at a higher temperature than the other, and made a series circuit by joining them together to form a junction. He found that by doing so he was able to generate an electromotive force (emf). Emfs are voltages. Seebeck found that the larger the temperature differences between the metals, the higher the generated voltage, regardless of their shapes. His discovery is called the Seebeck effect, and it is the basis of all thermocouples. Background Seebeck, H.G. Magnus, and A.C. Becquerel proposed the empirical rules of thermoelectric circuits. Lord Kelvin explained their thermodynamic basis, and W.F. Roesser compiled them into a set of three fundamental laws. They have all been verified experimentally. The second law is sometimes broken up into three parts by modern day researchers, to give a total number of five, but Roesser's are still the standar
