Question

/15 pts) A type K Thermocouple is calibrated at different temperatures with the following calibration curve. A t voltmeter with reference junctions of the thermocouple in ice water. When the thermocouple tip is placed on a surface with unknown temperature, the yoltage output reads!1.68 my. hermocouple transducer is connected to a d. What is the temperature of the surface? e. What is the sensitivity of the thermocouple transducer? f. What is the offset of the transducer? Type K thermocouple calibration curve y. 0.04x-0.2409 R2 0.9967 8 20 15 50 200 400 600 800 1000 1200 Temperature (Degrees Celsius)

Explanation / Answer

Hello,
          Please find the answer attached as under. Please give a thumbs up rating if you find the answer useful! Have a rocking day ahead!

The relationship between the temperature t and the output voltage V , as given in the graph is :

V = 0.04t - 0.2409

If V = 11.68mV, from the above relation, t = 6.31 degree Celsius.

The sensitivety of the transducer is the slope of the graph = 0.04mV/degree C.

The offset of the transducer is -0.2409, which is the y intercept of the graph.
