The emf, ɛ (in millivolts) of a thermocouple with one of its junctions kept at the ice point is a quadratic function of temperature, t in Celcius scale: ɛ = 0.5t – 0.001t². Suppose the thermocouple is used as a thermometer using its emf as its thermometric property and with a new temperature scale defined as t' = aɛ – b,

Thermodynamics. Help me out. 

 

2. The emf, ɛ (in millivolts) of a thermocouple with one of its junctions kept at the
ice point is a quadratic function of temperature, t in Celcius scale:
8 = 0.5t – 0.001t².
Suppose the thermocouple is used as a thermometer using its emf as its
thermometric property and with a new temperature scale defined as
t* = aɛ – b,
determine the suitable values of the constants a and b if t* = 0 at the ice point
and t* =
100 at the steam point of water.
