Exercise – 1 : Measurement of Temperature

Liquid-in-glass thermometer:
Principle: A liquid-in-glass thermometer measures temperature based on the thermal expansion of mercury or spirit alcohol in a glass
container. The boiling point of mercury is 356.72 °C, and its melting point is -38.86 °C. The boiling point of methyl alcohol is 64.65 °C, and
its melting point is -97.78 °C. Because mercury has low thermal capacity, high heat conductivity, inertness in relation to a glass capillary tube
and a high boiling point, it is an ideal thermometric liquid except for its relatively high melting point. Accordingly, mercury thermometers are
used for ordinary meteorological observations, and spirit thermometers are used for those involving temperatures below the melting point of
mercury.
Thermocouples:
Principle (Seebeck effect): The Seebeck effect states that when two different or unlike metals are joined together at two junctions, an electromotive force (emf) is
generated at the two junctions. The amount of emf generated is different for different combinations of the metals

Resistance Thermometers (RTD):
