Stefan’s law of radiation states that the rate of change of temperature of a body at Tdegrees Kelvin in a medium at M degrees Kelvin is proportional to M4-T4. That is dTdt=k(M4-T4),where kis a positive constant. Solve this equation using separation of variables. Explain why Newton’s law and Stefan’s law are nearly the same when Tis close to Mand Mis constant. [Hint: Factor M4-T4]

The results areT-M=CT+Me2arctanTM-4kM3t and When is T close to M then

1M4-T4=4M3(M-T)

dTdt=4M3k(M-T)=k1(M-T)

Step by step solution

01

Important concept.

According to Stefan’s law,

dTdt=kM4-T4,

02

Analyzing the given statement

According to Stefan’s law,

dTdt=kM4-T4,

Where, k is a positive constant, T degrees Kelvin is the temperature of the body degrees and M degrees Kelvin is the change in the temperature in a medium.

We have to solve this equation and to explain why Newton’s law and Stefan’s law are nearly the same when T is close to M and M is constant.

03

Factorizing M4-T4 in the given differential equation separating variables

dTdt=kM4-T4dTT4-M4=-kdt1T4-M4=1T2-M2T2+M2

Now using the partial fractions

Now,

∫12M2T2-M2-12M2T2+M2dT=-∫2kM2dt∫dT2MT-M-∫dT2MT+M-∫dTT2+M2=-2kM2t+C12MlnT-M-12MlnT+M-1MarctanTM=-2kM2t+ClnT-MT+M=2arctanTM-4kM3t+CT-MT+M=Ce2arctanTM-4kM3tT-M=CT+Me2arctanTM-4kM3t

When is T close to M then

1M4-T4=4M3M-TdTdt=4M3kM-T=k1M-T

Therefore, the results are T-M=CT+Me2arctanTM-4kM3tand When T is close to M then

1M4-T4=4M3M-T

dTdt=4M3kM-T=k1M-T

Early Monday morning, the temperature in the lecture hall has fallen to 40°F, the same as the temperature outside. At7:00a.m., the janitor turns on the furnace with the thermostat set at70°F. The time constant for the building is1k=2 hrand that for the building along with its heating system is1k1=12 hr. Assuming that the outside temperature remains constant, what will be the temperature inside the lecture hall at8:00a.m.? When will the temperature inside the hall reach65°F?

In 1980 the population of alligators on the Kennedy Space Center grounds was estimated to be 1500. In 2006 the population had grown to an estimated 6000. Using the Malthusian law for population growth, estimate the alligator population on the Kennedy Space Center grounds in the year 2020.

A red wine is brought up from the wine cellar, which is a cool 10°C, and left to breathe in a room of temperature 23°C. If it takes 10 min for the wine to reach 15°C, when will the temperature of the wine reach 18°C?

The air in a small room 12 ft by 8 ft by 8 ft is 3% carbon monoxide. Starting at t = 0, fresh air containing no carbon monoxide is blown into the room at a rate of 100ft3/min. If air in the room flows out through a vent at the same rate, when will the air in the room be 0.01% carbon monoxide?

A 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 50°Fat2:00a.m.and a maximum of80°Fat2:00p.m., determine the times at which the building reaches its lowest temperature and its highest temperature, assuming the exponential term has died off.
