1. A certain mercury-in-glass thermometer has been calibrated for a prescribed immersion depth. The thermometer is immersed too much, such that the extra depth is equal to a distance of 10° on the scale. The true temperature reading may be calculated with Ttrue = Tind – 0.000088(Tind – Tamb)D where Tind = indicated temperature Tamb = ambient temperature of the exposed stem D= extra immersion depth of the thermometer past the correct mark Calculate the thermometer error for an indicated temperature of 210°F and an ambient temperature of 70°E 2. What are the major disadvantages of RTDs?
