(30 pts)[Simscape] The figure below depicts a thermal system consisting of two capacitive rooms
separated from each other and the outside temperature by resistive walls with effective resistances
R1;R2; and R3.
a.(10 pts) Derive the governing equations of motion for this system.
b.(5 pts) Condense the governing equations to obtain a single ODE describing the dynamics of
the temperature T1 in response to the outside temperature To : Show that sign agreement
holds for this equation.
c.(10 pts) Assuming the effective resistances R1,R2, and R3 comprise convection that occurs at
each side of both walls and conduction that occurs through each wall, develop a Simscape
model of this system.
d.(5 pts) Add sensors to the Simscape model to measure the heat flow from room 1 to room 2
and the temperature Tm(t) in the middle of the outer wall.
