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...
