Fiber-Optic Thermometers:
These instruments enable near-infrared and visible radiation
to be transmitted around corners and away from hot,
hazardous environments to locations more suitable for the
electronics associated with contemporary radiation
thermometers. Fiber optics also makes possible measurements
in regions where access is restricted to larger instruments
and where large electric or radio frequency fields would
seriously affect an ordinary sensor. Conceptually, a
fiber-optic system differs from an ordinary IR thermometer
by the addition of a fiber-optic light guide, with or
without a lens. The optics of the light guide defines the
field of view of the instrument, while the optical
transmission properties of the fiber-optic elements form an
integral part of the thermometer spectral response.

Q1: Consider part of a control loop, which excludes the transmitter, consisting of a process, a controller and a control valve which may be represented by two dead times of 0.5 min each and three exponential lags of 0.8 min., 1.0 min. and 1.5 min. respectively. We wish to express this system as an overall first order plus dead time (FOPLD) model ie gain, time constant and process dead time. (We will see later that this is often done, to simplify controller tuning). For this exercise, gain is considered to be 1.0. (A) If the transmitter is a flow transmitter whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.2 min. and an exponential lag of 0.5 min. in terms of the overall dead time and overall first order lag how can the system behaviour be approximated ? Overall dead time = Overall time constant = (B) If the transmitter is a temperature transmitter with a temperature sensor in a protecting well whose behaviour can be described by a dead time of 0.7 min. and an exponential lag of 15 min. how can the overall system behaviour be approximated now? Overall dead time = Overall time constant =
