Abstract

Resource Image We present a first order differential equation model for the temperature of a mercury thermometer which is sitting in a stream of water whose temperature oscillates. We suggest a solving strategy which uses Laplace Transforms.

Article Context

Description

Consider a thermometer which is located in a flowing stream of water for which the temperature x varies with time. We would like to calculate the response or the time variation of the thermometer reading, y, for a given change in $x$, the temperature of the fluid in the stream in which the thermometer sits
