Question:
A temperature sensor enclosed in a thermo-well is used to measure temperature of a fluid.
The system data is as given below:
•Mass of sensor = 0.02kg
•Sensor surface area = 10-3 m2
•Sensor specific beat capacity = 500 Jkg-1 ºC-1
•Mass of thermo-well = 0.2 kg
•Thermo-well surface area - 10-2 m2
•Thermo-well specific heat capacity = 800 jkg-1 ºC-1
•Heat transfer coefficient between sensor and Thermo-well = 25 Wm-2 ºC-1
•Heat transfer coefficient between Thermo-well and fluid = 625 Wm-2 ºC-1
Calculate the system transfer function.
