Get started for freeA garage with no heating or cooling has a time constant of 2 hr. If the outside temperature varies as a sine wave with a minimum of atand a maximum ofat, determine the times at which the building reaches its lowest temperature and its highest temperature, assuming the exponential term has died off.
A swimming pool whose volume is 10,000 gal contains water that is 0.01% chlorine. Starting at t = 0, city water containing 0.001% chlorine is pumped into the pool at a rate of 5 gal/min. The pool water flows out at the same rate. What is the percentage of chlorine in the pool after 1 h? When will the pool water be 0.002% chlorine?
Two friends sit down to talk and enjoy a cup of coffee. When the coffee is served, the impatient friend immediately adds a teaspoon of cream to his coffee. The relaxed friend waits 5 min before adding a teaspoon of cream (which has been kept at a constant temperature). The two now begin to drink their coffee. Who has the hotter coffee? Assume that the cream is cooler than the air and has the same heat capacity per unit volume as the coffee, and that Newton’s law of cooling governs the heat transfer.
The solution to the initial value problemcrosses the x-axis at a point in the interval [0,14].By experimenting with the improved Euler’s method subroutine, determine this point to two decimal places.
In Problems 23–27, assume that the rate of decay of a radioactive substance is proportional to the amount of the substance present. The half-life of a radioactive substance is the time it takes for one-half of the substance to disintegrate. The only undiscovered isotopes of the two unknown elements hohum and inertium (symbols Hh and It) are radioactive. Hohum decays into inertium with a decay constant of 2/yr, and inertium decays into the nonradioactive isotope of bunkum (symbol Bu) with a decay constant of 1/yr. An initial mass of 1 kg of hohum is put into a non-radiaoctive container, with no other source of hohum, inertium, or bunkum. How much of each of the three elements is in the container after t yr? (The decay constant is the constant of proportionality in the statement that the rate of loss of mass of the element at any time is proportional to the mass of the element at that time.)
