Question

Complete the following in MatLAB: A thermocouple held in room-temperature air is suddenly immersed into a beaker of cold water. Its temperature as
a function of time is recorded.

Determine the thermocouple's time constant by plotting the data listed in Table attached, assuming that the thermocouple behaves as a first-order system.

A more accurate method of determining the time constant is by performing a least-squares linear regression analysis after transforming the temperatures into their appropriate non-dimensional variables.
