Sensors Project Introduction For this section of coursework I decided to undertake the task of building and testing a sensor. The sensor, which I built, was a thermocouple, I built this to take measurements of the temperature of a certain window. Aim My aim for this experiment to find how well a window conducts heat on both the outside and inside. Also I wished to find whether there was a correlation between the temperatures of the window at different points. I thought the side of the window, which would be at a higher temperature, would be the inside. I also felt due to the rule that hot air and fluids rise, I felt that the higher up the window the higher the temperature would be. Choice of Sensor For this experiment I could have chosen another option. I could have used a bead thermistor to do this. A bead thermistor is a semi conductor,...
