A spherical thermocouple junction of diameter 0.706 mm is to be used for the measurement of temperature of gas stream. The convective heat transfer coefficient of the bead surface is 400 W/m2K. Thermo physical properties of thermocouple material are k = 20 WmK, C,, = 400 J/kg K and p = 8500 kg/m3. If the thermocouple initially at 30°C is placed in a hot stream of 300°C, the time taken by the bead to reach 298°C is
(a) 2.35 sec                        (b) 4.9 sec
(c) 14.7 sec                         (d) 29.4 sec
