A long thin glass walled, 0.3 cm diameter, mercury thermometer is placed in a stream of air with convection coefficient of 60 W/m2 -K for measuring transient temperature of air. Consider cylindrical thermometer bulb consists of mercury only. For which k = 8.9 W/m.K and α = 0.016 m2 /h. Calculate the time constant and time required for the temperature change to reach half of its initial value.
