OUESTION 2(20pts)
The process is consisted of a constant volume electric water heater. On a particular day, as
the tank water temperature reached the 80C, the heater broke down and stopped supplying
heat. At this time, water was withdrawn from this 100 liter tank at the rate of 10 liters/min;
cold water at 30C automatically flowed into the tank at precisely the same rate. This period
went on for exactly 5min, and the water withdrawal was stopped at the end of the period
because of the heater design, the cold water also stopped flowing in.
By developing appropriate model for this process, show that, it is reasonable to consider this
a first order process, and by solving the resulting differential equation model, find the final
tank water temperature at the end of this 5-minute period. State all your assumptions.
