(a) What is an input device? What is primary sensing element and why is it important? Name different types of pressure elements.
(b) What is an electrical transducer? What are its advantages over the mechanical transducers?
What are the basic requirements of a transducer?
(c) Discuss in brief the static performance characteristics of an electrical transducer.
(d) Describe any two methods for measuring dynamic force with the help of transducer. Also give a comparison of the two methods.
(e) Define the term Gauge factor. Write in brief about semi-conductor type strain-gauges.
(f) The temperature of a furnace is measured by means of a platinum resistance thermometer.

400C. Find the temperature constant of the instrument and hence the true temperature when the resistance is 10.00 Q. Use the formula Rt=Ro (1 + a t) for the range 0-100C and the correction Dt = 5 .t (t-100C) for the range about 100C to obtain true temperature.
2 Attempt any four parts of the following : 5x4=20
(a) What is pilot tube? With the help of suitable diagram describe its use in flow measurement.
(b) What is LVDT? Write its merits and demerits. Discuss its any two applications.
(c) What is a piezoelectric transducer? Give its equivalent circuit. Derive an expression for the output voltage by making suitable simplifying assumptions.
(d) What is Hall effect? Why is it more pronounced in semiconductors than in metals? Describe the working principle, construction and applications of hall-effect transducers.
(e) What is telemetry and what are its components? Describe motion and force balance current telemetering systems and also give their relative merits and demerits.
(f) What is impulse telemetering system? Explain the various impulse telemetering systems.
3 Attempt any two parts of the following : 10x2=20
(a) Explain the working principle of any two methods of analog-to-digital conversion. Also, compare their relative merits and demerits.
