    1981-Geoffrey_Berresford-Differential Equations and Root Cellars
    This is a classic module from UMAP in which the heat equation in one dimension is fully developed by using the standard technique of measuring the heat flow in and out of a small element of mass and equating them at equilibrium.

    The water flowing from the first bottle feeds the second one located below it. The same concepts of mass and energy conservation now lead to a non-trivial differential equation for the lowest bottle dynamics.
