Transient-(Unsteady-State-Heat-Conduction)

A rmocouple junction of spherical form is to be used to measure temperature of gas stream. The junction is at 20 degree Celsius and is placed in a gas stream which is at 200 degree Celsius. Make calculations for time required by rmocouple to reach 197 degree Celsius temperature. Assume rmos-physical properties as given below
k = 20 W/ m K
h = 350 W/m2 K
c = 0.4 k J/kg K
p = 8000 kg/m3
