Question:

A solid body at initial temperature T0 is immersed in a bath of water at initial temperature Tw0. Heat is transferred from the solid to the water at a rate Q̇ = K̇ (Tw – T) , where K is a constant and Tw and T are instantaneous values of the temperatures of the water and solid. Develop an expression for T as a function of time τ. Check your result for the limiting cases, τ = 0 and τ = ∞. Ignore effects of expansion or contraction, and assume constant specific heats for both water and solid.
