A platinum resistance temperature detector (RTD) is used to measured temperature of the hot gas. The resistance of sensing element is 250.3 ohm when it contact with hot gas, calculate the temperature of the gas. The RTD has a resistance of 120 ohm and 80 ohm at 100°C respectively. The temperature coefficient of platinum is 0.0039 C^-1.
