Thermocouple temperature

[Khalid Moinuddin]

If we measure gas temperatures with bare-bead thermocouples during a
enclosure fire experiment and then want to calculate that those
temperatures using FDS - is using "THERMOCOUPLE TEMPERATURE" enough
with providing required information like bead thickness etc.?

What I mean is that, for making comparision, do we need to apply any
radiation correction to the measured data?

[shostikk]

Using output quantity 'THERMOCOUPLE' means that FDS tries to simulate
the radiation error, so that you do not neet to make the corrections
when comparing the data.

Thanks, Simo.

 

I was not sure whether 'THERMOCOUPLE' quantity is meant to give aspirated or bare-bead thermocouple reading. Is there any validation study available?

 

Regards,

The output THERMOCOUPLE is used throughout the FDS Validation Guide
(search through the FDS Repository under Validation/*/
FDS_Input_Files). We have not done a study of just the TC output
feature -- we are essentially using an algorithm described by Welsh
and Rubini, 5th IAFSS, 1997.
