(iii) Let us say there are two non-dimensional numbers M and N. Then prove that the
solution of the governing differential equation can be written as T-TTi-T=e-(MN), Identify
these two non-dimensional numbers M(independent of time) and N(dependent of time)
and write down their expressions.
(iv) The temperature of a hot fluid stream having a convective heat, transfer coefficient
of 485Wm-2K-1 is to be measured by a thermocouple. Let us say that the thermocou-
ple bead may be assumed to be a perfect sphere with diameter 1 mm . The thermocouple
initially at room temperature of 20C is placed into the hot stream of 100C. The thermo-
physical propertis are: =8900kgm-3,k=400Wm-1K-1,cp=385.Jkg-1K-1.
Calculate the non-dimensional number M. Calculate the other non-dimensional num-
ber N for the thermocouple temperature reading to be 92C.
( iii ) Let us say there are two non -
