A method to measure angular velocity is to use a proximity sensor that generates a pulse when a metal item is within the sensor’s detection range. A wheel is attached to an engine’s crankshaft that has a total 65 teeth. Each tooth is within the sensor’s detection range, however, each gap between the teeth is not within the sensor’s detection range. The engine is running at some angular speed. Determine the engine’s speed (in RPM) if a proximity sensor generates a frequency of 4,256 Hz

A pressure sensor measures 44 psi just before a sudden change to 70 psi. The sensor measures 52 psi at a time 4.5 s after the change. What is the sensor time constant?
Compare the electromagnetic vibration sensor and piezoelectric vibration sensor types in terms of EMI resistance, off-axis sensitivity, mounting orientation, and mechanical durability, and hence make recommendations to improve the operating efficiency of the vibration monitoring unit of the vibration monitoring system of the engine-gen set. You are encouraged to use clearly labeled schematic diagrams to explain the principles of operation of the sensors and why EMI may be significant in the environment and hence a sensor type with better EMI resistance should replace the electromagnetic type sensor
