Synonyms Used in print (Raymond C. Binder et al., editors, Proceedings...)A shielded thermocouple was used to measure the upstream temperature of the transpiring gas . This arrangement had the purpose to prevent heated gas to reach the thermocouple by natural convection . Three thermocouples were placed at different locations in the aluminum disk surrounding the anode holder to determine its temperature . Temperatures of the shield and of the surface of the water_cooled anode holder were measured by thermocouples to account_for heat received by the coolant but not originating from the anode plug . The upstream gas temperature measured with the thermocouple shown in figure 2 was **f . Related terms |
