Question 1. The table below shows a collection of data for a thermocouple. Temperature is in degrees Celsius, and the Voltage is in millivolts. (a) Plot the graph using rectangular graph paper with Temperature as the independent variable and determine the basic functional relationship between Temperature and Voltage. Alternatively, you can use Microsoft Excel to plot the data, but attach the graph in your answer page. (b) Determine specific the equation, using the method of selected points that best fits the data. Show how you determined the equation. If you need help, review Lecture-5. (c) What is the thermocouple voltage when the temperature is 1225 degree Celsius? Temperature (degree Celsius) Voltage (millivolts) 50 100 150 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1000 2.5 6.7 8.8 11.2 17 22.5 26 32.5 37.7 41 48 55.2
Energy transfer
The flow of energy from one region to another region is referred to as energy transfer. Since energy is quantitative; it must be transferred to a body or a material to work or to heat the system.
Molar Specific Heat
Heat capacity is the amount of heat energy absorbed or released by a chemical substance per the change in temperature of that substance. The change in heat is also called enthalpy. The SI unit of heat capacity is Joules per Kelvin, which is (J K-1)
Thermal Properties of Matter
Thermal energy is described as one of the form of heat energy which flows from one body of higher temperature to the other with the lower temperature when these two bodies are placed in contact to each other. Heat is described as the form of energy which is transferred between the two systems or in between the systems and their surrounding by the virtue of difference in temperature. Calorimetry is that branch of science which helps in measuring the changes which are taking place in the heat energy of a given body.
