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.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The building reaches its lowest temperature 61oFat 7:05a.m.and the building reaches its highest temperature 68.9°Fat8:51a.m.

Step by step solution

01

Given information.

Given that the outside temperature varies as a sine wave with a minimum of 50°Fat 2:00a.m.and a maximum of 80°Fat 2:00p.m., It has to determine the times at which the building reaches its lowest temperature and its highest temperature, assuming the exponential term has died off.

02

Find the value of B.

Now, the value of M is,

M=M0-BcosӬt …… (1)

Here,Ó¬=2Ï€24=Ï€12

M0-B=50        ......(a)M0+B=80        ......(b)

At 2:00 a.m.,t=0

And at 2:00 p.m., t=12 hours.

Adding the equations (a) and (b),

2M0=130M0=65

Therefore,B=15.
03

To determine the temperature at time t.

The forcing function Qtis given by,

Qt=KM0-BcosÓ¬tQt=K24-8cosÓ¬t

Temperature Ttis given by

Tt=B0-BFt+Ce-kt............................(2)

Where,Ft=cosÓ¬t+Ó¬ksinÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2

Substituting K=1, B=15 and B0=M0=65in equation (2),

Tt=65-15Ft+Ce-t

Now as the exponential term died off, therefore,

Tt=65-15Ft …… (3)

Where, the value of F(t) is,

Ft=11+Ó¬2k2cosÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2+Ó¬ksinÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2Ft=11+Ó¬2k2cosÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2+Ó¬ksinÓ¬t1+Ó¬2k2

Ft=sinӬt+tan-1kӬ1+Ӭ2k2 …… (4)

04

To determine lowest and highest temperatures inside the building if the time constant is 2 hr

Now as the maximum value of sin x is 1.

Therefore, from equation (4),

Ft=11+Ó¬2k2

So, by substituting the value of Ftin equation (3),

Tt=65-151+Ó¬2k2

…… (5)

When the time constant is 2 hours i.e., when 1K=12

AndÓ¬=Ï€12

Thus, from equation (5),

Let TLbe the lowest temperature,

TL=65-151+Ó¬2k2TL=65-151+4Ï€2144TL=610F

Now as the minimum value of sin x is 1.

Hence, from equation (4),

Ft=-11+Ó¬2k2

So, from equation (5),

Let THbe the highest temperature,

TH=65+151+Ó¬2k2TH=65+151+4Ï€2144TH=68.90F

Thereafter, if the time constant is 2 hours, the lowest temperature inside the building will reach 61°F and the highest temperature will reach 68.9°F.

05

To determine times at which the temperature inside the building reaches its lowest and highest temperature

Newton’s Law of cooling is,

Tt=M0+T0-M0e-kt

When ,T(t)=61oF

61=65+15-65e-t2-4=-50e-t24=50e-t2et2=504t2=ln12.5t=2ln12.5t=5.05hr

Accordingly, the building reaches its lowest temperature at7:05 a.m.

When ,T(t)=68.9oF

68.9=65+15-65e-t23.9=-50e-t23.9=-50e-t2et2=-503.9t2=-ln12.8t=-2ln12.8

Therefore, the building reaches its highest temperature at 8:51 p.m.

A warehouse is being built that will have neither heating nor cooling. Depending on the amount of insulation, the time constant for the building may range from 1 to 5 hr. To illustrate the effect insulation will have on the temperature inside the warehouse, assume the outside temperature varies as a sine wave, with a minimum of 16°Cat2:00a.m.and a maximum of32°Cat2:00p.m.Assuming the exponential term (which involves the initial temperature T0) has died off, what is the lowest temperature inside the building if the time constant is 1 hr? If it is 5 hr? What is the highest temperature inside the building if the time constant is 1 hr? If it is 5 hr?

Use the fourth-order Runge–Kutta subroutine with h = 0.25 to approximate the solution to the initial value problemy'=1-y,y(0)=0, at x = 1. Compare this approximation with the one obtained in Problem 6 using the Taylor method of order 4.

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. If initially there are 50 g of a radioactive substance and after 3 days there are only 10 g remaining, what percentage of the original amount remains after 4 days?

By experimenting with the fourth-order Runge-Kutta subroutine, find the maximum value over the interval \(\left[ {{\bf{1,2}}} \right]\)of the solution to the initial value problem\({\bf{y' = }}\frac{{{\bf{1}}{\bf{.8}}}}{{{{\bf{x}}^{\bf{4}}}}}{\bf{ - }}{{\bf{y}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{,y(1) = - 1}}\) . Where does this maximum occur? Give your answers to two decimal places.

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?
