Abstract
A temperature sensing device for a turbine of an engine and a method for measuring the temperature of the turbine are disclosed. The turbine includes a turbine stage coupled to a rotatable shaft and an outer casing. First and second sensor holders are disposed between the rotatable shaft and the outer casing, and first and second temperature sensors disposed on the first and second sensor holders, respectively. Each of the first and second sensor holders has only one temperature sensor disposed thereon, the first and second temperature sensors are disposed at first and second distances from the rotatable shaft respectively, and the first and second distances are different.
