This was helpful, thank you. It straightened out some inconsistencies in how I was thinking. No, I mean the emissivity. I'm trying to figure out how the emissive properties of a material change with temperature. Oh gosh, how embarrassing. I promise I knew blackbody emissivity is 1. Yes you're...

Hello, I’m trying to better my understanding of how the total emissivity changes with temperature for ceramic materials. Currently it is my understanding that non-metals typically have a high emissivity. A sanded surface will result in a higher emissivity, and that spectral emissivity varies...

I have Python downloaded on my personal laptop, but unfortunately I can't download it at work. Thanks for all your help, I feel like I've learned some good stuff! I'll give this code a try when I get home.

I'm using an online python editor (https://www.jdoodle.com/python3-programming-online), I don't know if maybe it's a little buggy and throws out weird errors? So I changed the order of the for loops, left my Die variable as an integer, and tried using the EvenOdd code you gave me and this is...

So I have another question related to this, I hope it's alright that I post it in this thread instead of making a new one. What if I not only wanted to have the user specify how many times they would like to roll a die, but also prompt the user to specify the number of dice they want to roll? At...

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it out that way as well!

It's working now! I really appreciate the quick replies, thanks so much for all your help!

Thanks, that was definitely a step in the right direction! Also thanks for the code posting tip, I didn't know how to do that. # Multiple Dice Rolls import random NRolls = input("Enter number of rolls...") N = int(NRolls) for Die in range(N): Die =...

Oh ok, using a for loop makes sense! And it makes sense why you're converting the number of rolls into an integer. I've been searching for for loop examples that use the user specified number to control the loop, but I can only seem to find very basic examples that don't quite explain what I...

Thanks for the idea! Yes I am using version 3. Here is what I did, I think something is still wrong, maybe I didn't close the loop? It just keeps rolling the die over and over again.

Homework Statement I want to prompt the user to input how many times they want to roll a die, then generate a random number between 1 and 6. I then need to print what their number is and if it is even or odd. The code I posted below is what I came up with for a single die roll that allows...

Homework Statement 1.) A piece of bread (ε = 0.85) is being toasted in a toaster, as shown below. The heating element of the toaster consists of a wire 2 mm in diameter that is wound to approximate cylinders spaced 2 cm apart. This element acts as a blackbody. The housing for the toaster is...

Homework Statement So this is more of a really vague conceptual question, I'm sorry if it doesn't really make sense. I'm in the stage of learning this where I don't quite understand things well enough to form a proper question. I'm a little bit confused about nodal networks in heat and mass...

Homework Statement The temperature distribution across a wall 0.3m thick at a certain instant of time is T(x)=a+bx+cx2, where T is in degrees Celsius and x is in meters, a = 200°C, b = -200°C/m, and c=30°C/m2. The wall has a thermal conductivity of 1W/m2K. (a) On a unit surface area basis...

Thank you so much! It makes total sense, great explanation!
