2. You are tasked with measuring the temperature in a system that undergoes periodic heating due to convective heat loss. Your thermocouple has a time constant \(\tau=8\mathrm{~s}\) and its specification sheet tells you that it's static sensitivity is \(1\mathrm{mV}/{}^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\) and no offset. You can assume it has a 1st-order response. You've monitored your sensor long enough so you can safely assume that its transient response has died out.
The average temperature \(=25^{\circ}\mathrm{C}\), the max temperature \(=45^{\circ}\mathrm{C},\& \) the period of oscillation \(=30\mathrm{~s}\).
a.) Determine the expressions that describes the input \( T(t)\) and output \( V(t)\).
b.) Using first-order analysis, calculate the phase for this system and input.
c.) Determine and plot (on the same plot, using either the basic 'plot' function or the dual-axis 'plotyy' function if you're in Matlab) the input signal and predicted output signal from the sensor for approximately 5 cycles. Report the equation form of the output \( y \) as a function of time; the only symbol in this equation should be that for time.
d.) Calculate the dynamic error of this measurement. Should this error change with time or frequency? Explain your answer.
e.) Based on the graph that you've produced, use the Matlab cursor tool to determine the time difference \(\Delta t \) of the relative phase difference between the two waves. From this \(\Delta t \), calculate what the corresponding \(\Delta \Phi \) should be and compare it to the \(\Phi \) result you got in the first step. If a difference exists, explain why.
