A thermocouple has a time constant of 2 sec. A thermal well has a time constant of 30 sec. When the thermocouple is inserted into the well, this tempera turemeasuring device can be considered a two-capacitance system
Determine the time constants of the combined thermocouple-thermal-well system Assume that the weight of the thermocouple is 8 g and the weight of the thermal well is 40g. Assume also that the specific heats of the thermocouple and thermal well are the same
