Problem 1: Assume that a thermometer with a spherical test section of radius r=0.3cm is initially at a temperature
Ti=50C, the density of the thermometer medium is =1000kgm3, its specific heat is c=3000JkgC, the heat transfer
coefficient h=1500Wm2oC, the initial temperature of the surroundings T0=100C, and the rate of change of the sur-
roundings temperature =5Cs. How does the temperature of the thermometer compares to that of the surrounding
medium at long times? Plot the ratio of the thermometer's temperature to the surrounding temperature as a function of
time.
