Heat Transfer

University: University of California, Berkeley
Department: Mechanical Engineering
Course Number: ME 107A
Course Title: Experimentation and Measurement
Professor:
Lab Title: Heat Transfer

"We have developed a new heat-transfer experiment for ME107A this semester consisting of a brass ball into which a Type K thermocouple is embedded. Preliminary tests suggest that the hole for the thermocouple may not be fully sealed, allowing water to come into contact with the thermocouple junction. Your task is to devise a test procedure (or procedures) to determine whether this is the case and whether this contact matters in terms of the transient response of the ball and thermocouple when immersed in water."
