A temperature probe with a recovery factor r =0.75 is used to measure the static
temperature of the air outside an airplane flying at 7000 m with a speed of 270 m/s. Local
atmospheric pressure at 7000 m is 45 kPa, which results in an air density of 0.66 kg/m3.
a)(5 pts) If the probe indicates a temperature of 7.5C, what is the actual static air
temperature? Take cp =1000 J/kg K.
b) Concept question: (5 pts) Discuss additional factors that might affect the accuracy of
the static temperature reading.
3.(10 pts) A 0-to-10 V,4-bit successive approximation A/D converter is used to measure an
input voltage.
a)(3 pts) Determine the quantization error of the A/D converter.
b)(3 pts) For an analog voltage input of 2.9 V, determine the binary representation and
corresponding digital output voltage.
c)(4 pts) What number of bits would the A/D converter need to ensure a reading within
2.5 mV of the actual output voltage?
