A thermocouple (0.8-mm-OD) is located horizontally in a large enclosure whose walls are at 37°C. The enclosure is filled with a transparent quiescent gas that has the same properties as air. The electromotive force (emf) of the thermocouple indicates a temperature of 230°C. Estimate the true gas temperature if the emissivity of the thermocouple is 0.8.

GIVEN
• Horizontal thermocouple in a large enclosure
• Thermocouple outside diameter (D) = 0.8 mm = 0.0008 m
• Enclosure wall temperature (Te) = 37°C = 310 K
• Gas is enclosure is quiescent and has the same properties as air
• Thermocouple reading (Ttc) = 230°C = 503 K
• Thermocouple emissivity (?) = 0.8
FIND
• True gas temperature (T?)
ASSUMPTIONS
• Enclosure behaves as a black body
• Conduction along the thermocouple out of the enclosure is negligible

Energy Conservation With Conservative Forces: A roller coaster starts from rest at a height h at the left side of a loop-the-loop, as shown in the figure. It is not attached to the track in anyway, and there is no friction from the track or from air resistance. If the radius of the loop is R = 6.0 m, what is the minimum height h for which the roller coaster will not fall off the track at the top of the loop?

A. 21 m B. 18 m C. 15 m D. 12 m E. 8.5 m
