compute temporal average of $\sin(\omega_0t+\Phi)\sin(\omega_0t+\omega_0\tau+\Phi)$

assuming that $\Phi$ is uniformly distributed over $(0,2\pi)$ compute: $$E[\sin(\omega_0t+\Phi)\sin(\omega_0t+\omega_0\tau+\Phi)]$$ I have solved the problem as continues:
$$\begin{align} E[\sin(\omega_0t+\Phi)\sin(\omega_0t+\omega_0\tau+\Phi)]&=\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi}\sin(\omega_0t+\Phi)\sin(\omega_0t+\omega_0\tau+\Phi)\,dt\\ &=\frac{1}{4\pi}\int_0^{2\pi}(\cos(\omega_0\tau)-\cos(2\omega_0t+2\Phi+\omega_0\tau))\,dt\\ &=\frac{1}{4\pi}[t\,cos(\omega_0\tau)-\frac{1}{2\omega_0}\sin(2\omega_0t+2\Phi+\omega_0\tau)]_0^{2\pi}\\ &=\frac{1}{4\pi}[(2\pi)\cos(\omega_0\tau)-\frac{1}{2\omega_0}(\sin(4\pi\omega_0+2\Phi+\omega_0\tau)-\sin(2\Phi+\omega_0\tau))]\\ &=\frac{1}{2}\cos(\omega_0\tau)-\frac{1}{8\pi\omega_0}(\sin(4\pi\omega_0+2\Phi+\omega_0\tau)-\sin(2\Phi+\omega_0\tau)) \end{align}$$

but the book that I am studying has written $\frac{1}{2}\cos(\omega_0\tau)$ as the answer could you tell me what am I doing wrong?

P.S.
$\sin(\omega_0t+\Phi)\sin(\omega_0t+\omega_0\tau+\Phi)$ is a stochastic. if I integrate with respect to $\Phi$ I'll get ensemble average but if I integrate with respect to time I'll get temporal average. here I'm trying to compute the temporal average but I'm totally not sure about the interval of integration

In order to compute temporal average, I should use the formula:
$$\mu_X=\lim_{T\to\infty}\hat\mu_X=\lim_{T\to\infty}\frac{1}{2T}\int_{-T}^T X(t)dt$$ so we have:
$$\begin{align} \hat\mu_X&=\frac{1}{2T}\int_{-T}^T \sin(\omega_0t+\Phi)\sin(\omega_0t+\omega_0\tau+\Phi)\,dt\\ &=\frac{1}{4T}\int_{-T}^T (\cos(\omega_0\tau)-\cos(2\omega_0t+2\Phi+\omega_0\tau))\,dt\\ &=\frac{1}{4T}[t\cos(\omega_0\tau)-\frac{1}{2\omega_0}\sin(2\omega_0t+2\Phi+\omega_0\tau)]_{-T}^T\\ &=\frac{1}{4T}[2T\cos(\omega_0\tau)-\frac{1}{2\omega_0}(\sin(2\omega_0T+2\Phi+\omega_0\tau)-\sin(-2\omega_0T+2\Phi+\omega_0\tau))]\\ &=\frac{1}{4T}[2T\cos(\omega_0\tau)-\frac{1}{\omega_0}(\sin(2\omega_0T)\cos(2\Phi+\omega_0\tau))]\\ &=\frac{\cos(\omega_0\tau)}{2}-\frac{\sin(2\omega_0T)}{4T\omega_0}\cos(2\Phi+\omega_0\tau) \end{align}$$then $$\mu_X=\lim_{T\to\infty}\hat\mu_X=\frac{\cos(\omega_0\tau)}{2}$$

I think the problem is that you've integrated the function on the wrong domain. You have to integrate it on a full period which is $\frac{\pi}{\omega_0}$. Since the function you're about to integrate is periodic, you won't need to integrate on an infinite domain.

This way you will get the answer $\frac{1}{2}\cos(\omega_0\tau)$.

While there is nothing wrong with sepideh answer, just for the sake of completeness, I would like to show how to calculate the ensemble average, that is the expectation $$E[\sin(\omega_0t+\Phi)\sin(\omega_0t+\omega_0\tau+\Phi)]$$ your originally asked for. The random variable under expectation can be written as $f(\Phi)$, where $$f(x)=\sin(\omega_0t+x)\sin(\omega_0t+\omega_0\tau+x).$$ Since $\Phi$ is uniformly distributed on the interval $(0,2\pi)$, it has constant density $1/2\pi$ concentrated on this interval, and our expectation is $$ E[f(\Phi)] = \int_0^{2 \pi} f(x) \frac{1}{2 \pi} \, dx =\\ \frac{1}{2 \pi} \int_0^{2 \pi} \sin (\omega_0 t + x) \sin (\omega_0 t + \omega_0 \tau + x) \, dx =\\ \frac{1}{4 \pi} \int_0^{2 \pi} (\cos (\omega_0 \tau) - \cos (2 \omega_0 t + \omega_0 \tau + 2 x)) \, dx = \frac{1}{2}\cos(\omega_0\tau). $$ This means your random process is ergodic after all.
