ThermocoupleSensorPostprocessor

This is a ThermocoupleSensorPostprocessor for various classes of thermocouples, described by the 'thermocouple_type' parameter

Description

ThermocoupleSensorPostprocessor object implements a thermocouple sensor that takes in the calculated input signal from moose and outputs a realistic and sensor-mediated output that accounts for efficiency, drift, delay and noise of the sensor in question. Different types of thermocouples are included. This is a child class of GeneralSensorPostprocessor.
