For a thermocouple, the inversion temperature is \(600^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and the neutral temperature is \(320^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Find the temperature of the cold junction?

  1. A \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  2. B \(20^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  3. C \(80^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
  4. D \(60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Neutral temperature \(\quad T_{n}=\frac{T_{c}+T_{i}}{2}\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
320^{\circ} &=\frac{T_{c}+600^{\circ}}{2} \\
640^{\circ} &=T_{c}+600^{\circ} \\
T_{c} &=40^{\circ} \mathrm{C}
\end{aligned}
