Problem 10.17
The temperature of a flowing gas stream is measured using a bare
thermocouple, which is a spherical metal bead 1.2 mm in diameter.
The properties of the metal are: denisty = 8000 kg/m^3, cp=450
J/kgK, and k= 25 W/mK. The film coefficient between the gas and the
metal is 310 W/m^2K. If the gas temperature suddenly changes from
200C to 210C, how long will it take for the thermocouple to reach
209C?
