The document discusses engineering experimentation and the potential errors associated with thermal probes, specifically regarding surface temperature conduction. It identifies that errors can be systematic or random, with specific implications for temperature readings. The correct conclusions are that such errors can lead to both lower and higher temperature readings, depending on the situation.

- 1. Introduction to Engineering Experimentation Surface temperature conduction error of a thermal probe...(more than one answer may be correct) a. is systematic b. is random c. will produce a lower reading (assuming the surface is hotter than the surroundings) d. will produce a higher reading Solution answer is C and D. Systematic errors are situation dependent. sometimes poor probe design or bad installation can easily give a system significant temperature reading errors.
