Question

A liquid at temperature 7575F is placed in an oven at temperature 450450. The temperature of the liquid increases at a rate 77 times the difference between the temperature of the liquid and that of the oven. Write a differential equation for the temperature T(t) of the liquid.

Answer 1

Answer: $\dfrac{dT(t)}{dt}=77\times (450-T)$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The temperature of the liquid is $75^{\circ}F$ placed in an oven with temperature of $450^{\circ}F$.

Initially difference in temperature of the two

$\Delta T=450-75\\\Rightarrow \Delta T=375^{\circ}F$

According to the question

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{dT(t)}{dt}=77\cdot \Delta T\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{dT(t)}{dt}=77\times (450-T)\quad [\text{T=75}^{\circ}F\ \text{at t=0}]$
