AI Thread Summary
Calibrating a thermocouple involves understanding its function and the thermometric properties that change with temperature. Key steps include researching the definition and setup of thermocouples, as well as the calibration process itself. It's important to know how temperature affects the materials used in the thermocouple, particularly regarding thickness changes. Users are encouraged to attempt the calibration process and seek help if they encounter difficulties. A solid grasp of these concepts is essential for successful calibration.

Calibrating a thermocouple HELP!

Homework Statement


I have to describe a procedure on calibrating a thermocouple system if excess temperature were required in degrees Celsius

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I was not sure really sure on how to calibrate the system so i have no idea what do in the case of excess temperature
 
Physics news on Phys.org


increasing the thickness of the metals, would do the work.

Welcome to Physics Forums Joyana32!
 


thanks that's a start but is there any steps i should follow
 


what steps are you talking about? how to increase the thickness?
 


Joyana ,firstly I assume you know the answers to these questions.
1.What is a thermocouple?
2.What is the thermometric property of a thermocouple in other words what changes as the temperature changes?
3.How are thermocouples set up and used and how is the thermometric property measured?
4.What is meant by "calibrating a thermocouple system"?
If you don't know the answers then do some research.If you get stuck on anything then report back here showing that you have made an attempt at a solution.
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
