Question

If a thermocouple uses an ice bath for its reference temperature and has a voltage reading of 57.8mV when measuring a temperature of 850 °C

What type of thermocouple must have been used? If a change to the heat chamber was made and the temperature could now go 100 °C higher than before what thermocouple would you use? What types of signal conditioning could you use to help overcome the overall poor sensitivity of thermocouples?

Expert Solution

Step 1

A thermocouple is employed with an ice bath to measure the temperature of an object at its reference temperature. It reads the voltage as 57.8 mV, when measuring a temperature of $850 ° C$ .

We have to find the type of thermocouple to be used.
We have to find the types of the thermocouples we can use if we make any change to the heat chamber & the temperature goes $100 ° C$ higher than before.
We have to explain the types of signal conditioning we can use to overcome the overall poor sensitivity of thermocouples.
