Suppose a small metal object, initially at a temperature of50degrees, is immersed in a room which is held at the constant temperature of70degrees. It takes2minutes for the temperature of the object to reach60degrees.
- Calculate the heat transfer coefficientr, i.e. the constant of proportionality in the differential equation that describes Newton's law of cooling.
- Suppose now that the room temperature begins to vary; i.e.Troom(t) =70+ sin(0.1t). Use Newton's law of cooling and the heat transfer coefficient you calculated in the previous step to compute the temperature of the object as a function of time. Suppose thatT(0) =60
