>From what I saw of their experiment, the thermocouples (k-type) measuring the two vessels were connected in series so that the measurement that came out on the wires was the temperature difference between the two. This may be more accurate than having two absolute thermocouples and subtracting to get a small temperature difference. I believe that the temperature of the empty vessel was presumed to be the temperature of a thermocouple in the "air" nearby. âTâ his portion of the setup is certainly worth some clarification by the authors. â
