A. A student establishes the time constant of a temperature sensor by first holding it immersed in hot water and then
suddenly removing it and holding it immersed in cold water. Several other students perform the same test with
similar sensors. Overall, their results are inconsistent, with estimated time constants differing by as much as a
factor of 1.2. Offer suggestions about why this might happen. Hint: Try this yourself and think about control of
test conditions.
B. Which would you expect to be better suited to measure a time-dependent temperature, a thermal sensor (e.g., a
thermocouple) having a small diameter spherical bead or one having a large diameter spherical bead? Why?
Let us assume that a data center has a power usage effectiveness of 2.2. You will decrease the power amount by cooling the system by %40 using surrounding air cooling. What would be the best possible PUE which can be accomplished?
if a measurement systems gives only a small spread of readings when repeated readings are taken of the same quantity, then what characteristics does the system have?
a.High sensitivity
b.High precision
c.High repeatability
d.High Producibility
