A flue gas stream is to be monitored for its temperature using a thermocouple. The thermocouple design needs to be evaluated in terms of its time response to accurately predict the measured temperature. The thermocouple junction can be approximated as a sphere of diameter 0.6 mm, density of the bead material (p) 8500 kg/m3, thermal conductivity (k) is 310 W/rn-K; specific heat (c) is 0.3 kJ/kg-K. The convective heat transfer coefficient (h) between the junction and flue gas is 300 W/m-K, Determine the time required to read 90% of the initial temperature difference. Neglect radiation effect and change in thermo physical Properties with temperature.
