Now THERE'S a hell of a thought. Consider a "bar" three inches long with

Are you assuming negligible heat loss from the bar itself?


yes if the bar is insulated well enough between the sensors and the head,
maybe with 3 sensors you could comepnsate for the heat loss through the
insulation wich would make for a curved temperature profile along the bar.
