A thermocouple produces an e.m.f. in mV according to the temperature difference between the
sensor tip 0, and the reference junction 02 (also called gauge head where the reference junction
is embedded inside the display unit for the thermocouple) such that
e = a(0, – 0,) + B(e; – e; )
a = 3.5x10? mv/deg and B = 8.2x106 mV/deg. The gauge head is at 20°C. The output is 10 mV.
Calculate the temperature of the sensor.
