5(b) Fig. 13 shows a simple model of an industrial furnace. A packing of temperature T1 is being heated in the furnace by an electric heater supplying heat at the rate Qhi(t). The temperature inside the furnace is T2, the walls are at temperature T3, and ambient temperature is Ta. The thermal capacitances of the packing, the air inside the furnace, and the furnace walls are Ch1,Ch2, and Ch3, respectively. Derive state-variable equations for this system assuming that heat is transferred by convection only, with the convective heat transfer coefficients hcl(air packing),hc2(air inside walls), and hc3(outside walls-ambient air).
