Chapter 8, Problem 8.28P
A beaded thermocouple is placed in a duct in a moving gas stream having a velocity of 200 ft/s. The thermocouple indicates a temperature of 1,400 R.
- Determine the true static temperature of the fluid based on an estimate for velocity errors. Take the specific heat of the fluid to be 0.6 Btu/lbm°R and the recovery factor to be 0.22.
- Estimate the possible error (uncertainty) in the thermocouple reading due to radiation if the walls of the duct are at 1,200 °R. The view factor from the probe to the duct walls is 1, the convective heat-transfer coefficient, h, is 30 Btu/hr- ff-°R, and the emissivity of the temperature probe is 1.
