Question
(a)
In a sentence or two discuss what is meant by temperature and briefly describe how
a temperature scale can be constructed. Illustrate why the gas thermometer cannot
be realized to measure temperatures which approach a temperature of zero Kelvin.
(8 marks)
(b)
With the use of carefully labelled diagram(s), describe the operation of two
important devices of your choosing that can be used in industry today for the
measurement of an important parameter for industry, such as temperature, pressure,
or flow for example.
(9 marks)
(c)
Why does making measurements of many parameters at high temperatures cause
problems? If measurement in the high temperatures of a process plant is required,
discuss if the devices you describe would be suitable and explain the reasoning behind
your answer.
