Question:

A small device is used to measure the surface temperature of an object. A thermocouple bead of diameter D = 120μm is positioned a distance z = 100m from the surface of interest. The two thermocouple wires, each of diameter d = 25 μm and length L = 300 μm, are held by a large manipulator that is at a temperature of T= 23C.

If the thermocouple registers a temperature of Ttc = 29C, what is the surface temperature? The thermal conductivities of the chromel and alumel thermocouple wires are kCh =19 W/m · K and kAl = 29 W/m· K, respectively. You may neglect radiation and convection effects.
