HW3: The temperature of a gas stream is measured with a thermocouple. The junction may be approximated as a sphere of diameter D=1 mm, k=20 W/(mK), p= 7800 kg/m² and Cp=0.4 kJ/(kgK). The heat transfer coefficient between the junction and the gas stream is h=100 W/(m²K). If the initial temperature of the thermocouple 20 C and gas stream temperature is 100 C, what will be reading of the thermocouple after t=10 seconds?

Problem 3 A portable thermocouple is used to measure the air temperature inside of a sauna. The sauna is unbearably hot and a person can only stay for 20 seconds, during which the temperature reading keeps on changing and a steady temperature is not reached. Leaving the thermocouple reader in the sauna for extended period of time has been deemed too risky for an electronics device Fortunately, a transient heat transfer model can be used to extract the temperature in...
A thermocouple is used to measure the temperature of hot air flowing in a duct whose walls are maintained at Tw = 500 K. The thermocouple shows a temperature reading of Tt h = 850 K. Assuming the emissivity of the thermocouple junction to be 0.6, and the convection heat transfer coefficient to be 60 W/m2 · K, (a) draw the thermal resistance network, and (b) determine the actual temperature of the air.
