(a)
Interpretation:
The linear equation for V(mV) in terms of T°C and convert it to an equation for T in terms of V should be derived.
Concept introduction:
The voltage and temperature can be related to each other by using following equation:
Here, V is the voltage in milli-volts (mV) and T is the temperature of the system in degree Celsius, whereas a and b are the constants.
(b)
Interpretation:
The average value of the rate of change of temperature, dT/dt, at the time of measurement period should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The rate of change in temperature with time can be obtained with the help of the equation:
(c)
Interpretation:
The principal benefits and disadvantages of thermocouples should be determined.
Concept introduction:
The thermocouple is a type of thermometer which has an application in industries for measuring extreme temperatures.
