Error analysis of surface temperature measurement by thermocouple

In surface temperature measurement by thermocouple, measurement error was quantitatively investigated when the temperature measuring junction was adhered to the surface and a part of the lead wire was placed on the isothermal surface.First, heat paths of a thermocouple were modeled by thermal-resistance-network.Unknown parameters related to the con
