Introduction:
The control and monitor of accurate and reliable measurement of temperature is necessary in various fields such as industrial , environmental, agriculture , food, biotechnology and clinical sectors etc. furthermore, research labs, clean rooms, and nuclear reactors are the environments which require continuous temperature monitoring a due to their highly dependence on temperature levels. The role of sensors and the errors which may affect the measurement of temperature are critical for temperature measuring devices. The sensor choice may play a large role in on the cost effectiveness of the system. Every temperature measurement application is according to their different requirements and the effect of noise on the resolution is necessary to be considered. Noise issues and presence of errors are more critical from design point of view and selection of type of sensors.
Different ways of measurement of temperature are available such as resistance temperature detectors, integrated circuit sensors, infrared sensors, liquid n gas thermometers, gas thermometers, thermocouples, thermostats, thermostat etc. In this report the integrated circuit using LM35 temperature sensor temperature sensing method is described due to important advantage over other sensor types such as low cost, high accuracy, linear output signal, small size, calibration, reliability, and low power consumption.
Literature review:

Types of Temperature sensors:
The most commonly used type of temperature sensors detects heat or temperature. These types of temperature sensors vary from simple thermostat devices, which are used to control the domestic water heating system, to highly sensitive semiconductor types which are used to monitor and control the compl...

...genic regions.
Thermometers:
They are liquid expansion devices for temperature measurement. Liquid may be mercury or alcohol. Expansion coefficient of alcohol is more. Mercury device has certain limitations for safely transportation and shipping. Mercury is considered as environmental contaminant, so breakage of thermometer is hazardous.

Infrared sensors:
Infrared sensors are non-contacting type of sensors. For example, if we hold up a typical infrared sensor to the front of our desk without contact, sensor will tell us the temperature of desk due to its radiation... in non-contacting measurement of ice water, it will measure slightly lower the expected temperature reading [2].

This indicate that salt is the variable that contributed to the decrease in temperature since the initial temperature of the thermometer, the amount of ice, and the room temperature, were all held constant.

    First, a calorimeter was constructed with three standard styrofoam cups. One cup was stacked within the second for insulation, while the third cup was cut in half to be used as a lid. The lid was made to increase accuracy when recording the temperature. The temperature probe hooked up to Logger Pro software poked a hole in the top of the calorimeter by applied force with the end of the probe through the Styrofoam. Meanwhile, 40mL of deionized water were measured out in two clean 50 mL graduated cylinders, and poured into 100 mL beakers. The beakers and graduated cylinders were cleaned with deionized water to avoid contamination that may cause error. One of the beakers was placed onto a hot plate, which was used to heat the water in the beaker. The other beaker rested at room temperature. Once heated and at room temperature, the initial temperature was measured with the probe. Next, the two 40 mL of deionized water were poured into the calorimeter, quickly sealed with the lid, and the temperature probe emerged through the top of the calorimeter into the water to measure the temperature so the calorimeter constant would be determined. The equations used to determine the calorimeter constant were Δq = mCΔT and Δq =

A thermal system contains matter or substance and this substance may change by transformation or by exchange of mass with the surroundings. To perform a thermal analysis of a system, we need to use thermodynamics, which allows for quantitative description of the substance. This is done by defining the boundaries of the system, applying the conservation principles, and examining how the system participates in thermal energy exchange and

    When the liquid level in both arms is the same, the pressure of the sample of gas inside the closed end must equal the pressure of the external atmosphere since the downward force on the two columns of liquid is then equal. When the liquid levels are unequal, the pressures must differ. The difference in pressure can be measured in units of length of the vertical column of liquid. The mm Hg, or its modern version the torr, originated in this use of the manometer. Mercury is particularly convenient for use in manometers (and barometers) because at room temperature it has low vapor pressure, does not wet glass, and has a high density. Other liquids such as linseed oil or water have also been used in manometers.
