본 연구는 화재실험에서 널리 이용되고 있는 노출비드형 열전대의 신뢰성을 평가하기 위해 화재실험을 수행하고 흡입식 열전대와 노출비드형 열전대에 의해 측정된 온도를 비교 분석한다. 화재실의 고온의 상층부에서는 노출비드형 열전대의 측정온도가 흡입식 열전대에 비해 상대적으로 낮게 나타났고 측정오차는 크지 않은 반면 저온의 하층부에서는 노출비드형 열전대의 온도가 높게 나타났으며 측정오차 또한 크게 증가하였다. 본 연구에서 측정된 노출비드형 열전대의 최대 상대오차는 최대 250% 이상까지 나타났으며 노출비드형 열전대를 이용하여 화재유동장을 정량화 할 때 측정 신뢰성 향상을 위해 적절한 보정과정이 필요함을 보여준다.

The error in measuring temperature profiles by thermocouple inside boundary layer mostly comes from the conduction heat transfer of the thermocouple. The error is not negligible when the conductivity of the thermocouple is very high. In this study, the effect of conduction heat transfer of the thermocouple on the temperature profile inside boundary layer was examined by considering both free-stream velocity and a thermocouple position. The conduction error of an E-type thermocouple was investigated by numerical analysis of three-dimensional conjugate heat transfer for various velocity profiles of boundary layer and thermocouple positions.

The purpose of this study is to measure the compression temperature in cylinder by using the fine thermocouple. As for using the thermocouple, it's response time delay should be regarded, even if it is a fine one. So, the output of thermocouple needs some compensation. The compensation circuit, which consists of a differential and an adding circuit is used for the compensate the time lag. And the time constant of the compensation circuit is determined the time between the TDC and the maximum point of the thermocouple output. Using this compensation circuit, the compression temperature is investigated of the cylinder in the diesel engine.

Thermal time constant measurement system was designed and fabricated to measure the thermal time constant, which shows a dynamic property of the thermocouple. Type K thermocouple samples were fabricated with variable shape each other and the thermal time constants of thermocouples were measured using the home-made thermal time constant measurement system. Thermal time constants of 12 type K thermocouple samples were distributed from 0.03 s to 8.2 s. It showed experimentally that the thermal time constant of thermocouple was increased linearly for the increase of the sheath diameter of thermocouple.

This study investigated the interface temperatures for the sliding friction of three types of pins fabricated with thermocouple wires by the suction casting method. Optical microscopy was used to examine the surrounding material state at the bonding interface with the thermocouple wires. Friction tests were performed under dry sliding conditions against stainless steel 304 at nominal stresses of 1.42-4.25 MPa and sliding speeds of 0.5-1.25 m/s. Tribological data were collected using a custom-made pin-on-disk apparatus that measured the interface temperature and corresponding friction coefficient. Static tests were performed to demonstrate the functionality and reliability of the thermocouple wires-combined temperature sensor (TCTS). Each TCTS showed good linearity and sensitivity and very similar response times for the thermocouple and critical temperature during sliding friction.

본 연구에서는 등온 벽에서 가까이에 위치한 유동과 같이 온도 구배가 큰 곳에서 발생하는 전도오차를 줄이기 위해 새로운 열전대의 형상 설계 및 제작 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 전도오차를 줄이기 위하여 지름이 $79.9{\mu}m$인 열전대를 이용했으며, 아크 용접을 통해 제작된 상대적으로 접점이 큰 일반 열전대와 다른 butt-welded 열전대를 제작하기 위하여 용접용 5 축 장비가 고안됐다. 열전대의 단면을 맞닿게 하여 용접해 접합부위 크기를 최소화 했다. 온도 보정 실험을 통하여, 일반적인 형상의 열전대와 이 연구에서 제안하는 열전대의 온도 측정 결과가 동일함을 알 수 있었다. 접합부가 $79.9{\mu}m$ 지름을 가지는 butt-welded 열전대를 온도 경계층에 침투시켜서 전도에 의한 오차를 최소화하여 급격히 변하는 온도 경계층의 온도를 효과적으로 측정할 수 있게 되었다. 개발된 센서를 이용하여 선형 터빈 날개가 장착된 풍동에서 온도 경계층을 측정하였고, 측정된 결과를 Nusselt 수로 나타내었다.

The two-thermocouple method was investigated experimentally to evaluate its accuracy for the measurement of local wall temperature and heat flux on a heat transfer tube with an electric heater rod installed in an annulus channel. This work revealed that a thermocouple flush-mounted in a surface groove serves as a good reference method for the accurate measurement of the wall temperature, whereas two thermocouples installed at different depths in the tube wall yield large bias errors in the calculation of local heat flux and wall temperature. These errors result from conductive and convective changes due to the fin effect of the thermocouple sheath. To eliminate the bias errors, we proposed a calibration method based on both the local heat flux and Reynolds number of the cooling water. The calibration method was validated with the measurement of local heat flux and wall temperature against experimental data obtained for single-phase convection and two-phase condensation flows inside the tube. In the manuscript, Section 1 introduces the importance of local heat flux and wall temperature measurement, Section 2 explains the experimental setup, and Section 3 provides the measured data, causes of measurement errors, and the developed calibration method.

a new measuring method is suggested to determine the time constant of a thermocouple wire to be applied for the measurement of the true fluid temperatures in varying flow states. Based on the techniques of internal heating which are commonly used to measure mean time constants we extend the existing method to measure instantaneous time constants continuously. A method of measurement and analysis is presented and verified experimentally.

Changes in breathing pattern and apnea both can be !he result of sleep disorders. The focus of this paper is to develop methodologies to monitor the breathing pattern and to detect apnea. An accurate recording of the respiratory phase can be carried out with different methods. One of these methods is the use of a thermocouple, which reacts to the variation in air temperature, placed in the nose and mouth of the patient. The K-type thermocouple was used because it has high reliability, thermo-stability, and good corrosion resistance. And also, it has a considerable long time constant that gives a low cut-off frequency, well below the respiratory frequency and thereby causing a large phase difference. The result showed that timing of respiration was accurately obtained with the AD595, amplifier for K-type thermocouple.

When a thermocouple is placed in a high temperature gas-flow stream, the measured temperature could be biased from the true gas temperature due to a large radiation heat loss from a thermocouple surface to its surroundings. In this study, two thermocouples of unequal diameters with 1/8 inch and 1/16 inch are used to correct the radiation effect. The method is called the reduced radiation error (RRE). The preliminary test results show that the radiation and the sheath conduction cannot be negligible for the gas temperature measurement. To minimize the sheath conduction effect, all the thermocouples will have a grounded junction and 1/8 inch thermocouple will be replaced with 1 mm thermocouples. In addition, the computational fluid dynamics code analysis shows that there is a negligible temperature difference between the positions where the thermocouples were installed.
