Question: The gas stream temperature is to be measured using a thermocouple with a junction that can be approximated as a 1 . 0 mm diameter

The gas stream temperature is to be measured using a thermocouple with a junction that can be approximated as a 1.0 mm diameter sphere. The junction's thermal conductivity is k =77 W m-1K-1, and the heat transfer coefficient between the junction and the gas is h =150 W m-2K-1. Calculate the Biot number of the junction under these conditions. Provide the answer to five decimal places and enter the numerical value only (e.g.0.12345).THEN LABEL THIS AS PART 2, WITH WORKED ANSWERS For the problem above, use reasonable assumptions to determine how long it will take for the thermocouple junction to reach 0.978 of its initial temperature difference, such that left parenthesis increment T subscript i minus increment T right parenthesis divided by increment T subscript i=0.978. The junction material has a density of 8500 kgm-3 and a specific heat of 320 kJ kg-1 K-1. Provide the answer to one decimal place and enter the numerical value only (e.g.20.1 but not 20.1 s).
Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
