Question: 5 a pot of beef stew is being heated on...

Question details

5. A pot of beef stew is being heated on a stove. Assume that the stove conveys a constant heat flow Q into the pot. In the meantime, the pot dissipates heat into the ambient environment through convection in the form of h(T - Too), where h is the heat transfer coefficient and T is the temperature of the ambient environment. Let Θ T-To. The temperature of the pot is governed by dO dt where C is the heat capacitance of the pot depending on the specific heat and volume of the pot, etc. Based on (4) and the assumption that C, A, and Q are constants, answer the following questions (a) What is the time constant of the pot? (b) What is the steady-state relative temperature Oo of the pot? (c) Determine the time it takes to increase the relative temperature from 0 to
