Consider the thermocouple properties you found in the question "Temperature of a thermocouple (1/3)"

If the thermocouple is initially outside of the bath at room temperature (20 C), what is the maximum temperature it will register if it's instantaneously inserted into the batch (55 C) for 18 seconds and then removed? Use an inverse Laplace transform to find the solution.

a. 32.68 C b. 44.97 C c. 64.97 C d. 12.68 C
