    1) The document describes an experiment to determine the time constant of a thermowell system when subjected to a step change in temperature. 2) Temperature data was collected for initial temperatures of 90°C and 95°C as the thermowell cooled. This data was used to calculate the time constants using first and second order models. 3) The time constant of the thermowell was determined to be 626.655 seconds for the first order model. For the second order model, the time constants were 111 seconds and 527.9113175 seconds.

    Aim: To find the time constant of a Thermowell system when subjected to a step change.

    Observations AND Calculations:

    • Room Temperature = T room = 310C


    • Initial Temperature = T ini = 900C / 950C
    • Time Constant of a thermometer= τ1=111 s.
    • Step Change = A= 90-35 = T ini-Troom =550C

    For Initial Temperature = 90 0C
