The principle and characteristics of MEJ-WRNK thermocouple sensors

1.Working principle of the MEJ-WRNK thermocouple sensors

Basic principle:

Based on the Seebeck effect, a closed circuit is composed of two different materials of conductors or semiconductors. When there is a temperature difference between the two ends, a thermoelectric potential is generated in the circuit, and the temperature value can be calculated by measuring this potential. ​This is the Working principle of the MEJ-WRNK thermocouple sensors.

Working principle of the MEJ-WRNK thermocouple sensors
Theoretical basis:

The thermoelectric potential generated by temperature difference is composed of contact potential and thermoelectric potential. Contact potential is caused by the different work functions of electrons in two materials, while thermoelectric potential is formed by the difference in electron diffusion rate due to the different temperatures at both ends of the same material.
