An iron-constantan thermocouple is calibrated by inserting its junction in boiling water (100°C) and measuring a voltage
(a) Find the equation of the line for the measured temperature T as a function of the voltage V and determine the value of the sensitivity a and the reference temperature
(h) Sketch the graph of T as a function of V and clearly indicate both the reference temperature
(c) If the thermocouple is mounted in a chemical reactor and the voltage is observed to go from 10.0 mV to 13.6 mV, what is the change in temperature of the reactor?

- A tank initially contains 300 gallons of water with 50lbs of salt disolved in the water. A brine solution is pumped into the tank at a rate of 5gal/min and the wellstirred mixture is pumped out of the tank at the same rate. The concentration of salt in the inflow is variable and is given by cin = (2 + sin(t/4))lbs/gal. Find the amount of salt in the tank at any time t.arrow_forward10.
