i) Abstract: This project aims at controlling the temperature of an aluminum plate which is being heated by a 50 watt heating element. For controlling the temperature of the metal plate the current through the heating element is controlled. The thermal energy produced by the heater is directly proportional to the square of the current passing through the heater coil. Hence, by controlling the current through the heater coil ,the heat produced by the heater is controlled. The target is to control the temperature of the plate between room temperature and 100 °C with the optimal control range being from 44°C to 63°C. Following this significance of temperature control in processes, a temperature sensor and control system using the AD590 IC as the temperature sensor is designed.
