Temperature is a principle parameter that needs to be monitored and controlled in most food processing operations such as heating, cooling, drying and storage. Temperature sensors have been developed based on different temperature-dependent physical phenomena including thermal expansion, thermoelectricity, electrical resistance, and thermal radiation. Temperature sensors used in agricultural an...

Temperature measurement in microwave systems is essential for thermally driven processes, namely, catalytic reactions and ceramic sintering. Although, the application of direct thermometry methods, namely, thermocouples, have been commonly articulated in the available literature, however, contacted temperature measurement mechanisms have aroused concerns associated with the disruption of the el...

longitudinal heat conduction is an important parameter in the cryogenic field, especially in cryogenic heat exchangers. in the present work, the parasitic effect of tube wall longitudinal heat conduction on temperature measurement has been studied in cryogenic laminar hydrogen flow. the effects of various parameters such as wall cold end temperature, wall thermal conductivity, gas volumetric fl...

This report represents the design and implementation of a skin temperature measurement system. The system aims to measure the skin temperature from a sensor and send it to the PC using a USB cable to display on screen. The data needs to be updated every second. The PIC18F4550 microcontroller has been used in this project to obtain data from the sensor and send it to the PC using USB 2.0 that ha...

In febrile children younger than 36 months of age, most serious illnesses are caused by infectious agents [3]-[6]. The presence of a fever in children younger than three months of age triggers a thorough investigation into the source of the infection [7][8]. However, the presence of a normal or subnormal temperature in children younger than three months of age can also be associated with severe...
