Chapter 8, Problem 8.35P
Figure 8.48 Schematic diagram for Problems 8.33, 34, and 35.
8.35 An iron-constantan thermocouple is placed in a moving air stream in a duct, as shown in Figure 8.48. The air flows at 180 ft/sec. The emissivity of the thermocouple is 0.7 and the recovery factor is 0.7. The wall temperature, Twis 500 °F. The thermocouple reference junction is maintained at 32 °F. The emf output from the thermocouple is 20 mV.
- Determine the thermocouple junction temperature.
- By considering recovery and radiation errors, estimate the possible value for total error in the indicated temperature. Discuss whether this estimate of the measurement error is conservative and why, or why not. The heat-transfer coefficient may be taken as 40 Btu/hr-ft °F, and the specific heat as cp= 0.24 Btu/lbm°F.
