This paper presents a simple temperature measurement design using thermistor for industrial purposes. This paper establishes the characteristics of the resistance via temperature and it's constant since it has been difficult to determine if a thermistor has a positive or negative temperature coefficient. The practical approach was adopted to determine its characteristics where it was revealed that all thermistors are nonlinear in nature. In this design, the empirical and the practical design were compared; its implementation considers the temperature within the ranges of 35 0 C to 60 0 C which is 308K to 333K respectively. Other considerations were given to the output voltages between 0.155V -1.055V, ambient temperature of 0 0 C -25 0 C, Percentage non-linearity as low as 0.16, and a sensitivity of 0.0367V/ºC but the resolution of this device is 1ºC.The result obtained were analysed to ascertain the functionality of the experimented design via its performance and suggestions on further improvement were made.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
