University of Sharjah Mechanical Engineering Thermo-Fluids Lab Report

This lab report from the University of Sharjah's Mechanical Engineering department details Experiment #2 in the Thermo-Fluids Lab, conducted in Fall 2021-22. The experiment's objectives were to study different temperature measuring tools and understand the operational principles of thermocouples. The report covers the use of liquid-filled glass thermometers, gas (vapor pressure) and bimetal thermometers, and thermocouples. It includes calibration procedures, observation tables, calculations, graphs illustrating the relationship between the instruments, and an error study to compare them. The report further provides an introduction to temperature measurement and calibration, including the Celsius and Kelvin scales. It describes the apparatus used, including a heater tank, thermometers, and an icebox, along with the experimental procedure. Finally, the report presents the results, conclusions, and references used in the experiment.
