Transcribed Image Text:1. The electromotive force E for a thermocouple is given by
E = aT+bT
a). Calculate and sketch E for conditions in which the reference source is at 0°C and
temperature varies from 0°C to 60°C. The thermocouple material is copper constantan
with a = 38.7µV°C and b 0.082 µV°c'. How significant is the second term in your
calculation?
b). Calculate the sensitivity a at 37°C for the copper constantan thermocouple. (The
themoelectric sensitivity is defined by differentiating the above equation with respect
to T.)
2. In a thermistor, the relationship between resistance R, and absolute temperature T in
Kevin (K) is given by:
R, = R,e(T,-T)/TT,)

).
R, dT
Please calculate temperature coefficient a (a is defined as a =
3. The empirical relationship between the thermistor resistance R and absolute
temperature T (in Kelvins) is
R, = R,eB(T,-T)/TT, )
where B is the material constant for thermistor; To is the standard reference
temperature. If the resistance is 2000 2 at T-300 K, and 1447 2 at T=330K, what is
the temperature when the resistance is 1700 2?
