Why would you think that adding the signals from
thermocouples in series would add the temperature?

Well, maybe because the terminal voltage of thermocouples in
series is the multiple of the number of thermocouples.

In which case when the - the TURBINE inlet temperature - is
imposed on 18 thermocouples in series the output voltage is
18 times that of one thermocouple or 18 thermocouples in
parallel.

This concept which is so foreign to you is well known, it is
the basis of isotope or thermoelectric generators, the
arrangement is sometimes called a thermopile ... as opposed
to a Tarverpile which is a hot, steaming, but highly
unproductive, mound.

You must be a common troll, Tarver, it is inconceivable that
an adult with your level of reading and reasoning skills
could function outside a constant care facility. Maybe you
don't.
