Homework Statement


Assume the temperature of the exhaust in an exhaust pipe can be approximated by
T=T0(1+ae-bx)[1+c cos([itex]\omega[/itex]t)]
T0=100oC,
a=3,
b=0.03m-1,
c=0.05,
[itex]\omega[/itex]=100 rad/s.

If the exhaust speed is a constant 3 m/s, determine the time rate of change of temperature of the fluid particle at x=0 and x=4 m when t=0.

Homework Equations


We know the equation of the temperature in function of the time and the position
T=T0(1+ae-bx)[1+c cos([itex]\omega[/itex]t)]




The Attempt at a Solution


We know that the time rate of change of temperature of the fluid particle is dT/dt

[itex]\frac{dT}{dt}[/itex]=T0(1+ae-bx)[-c [itex]\omega[/itex] sin([itex]\omega[/itex]t)]

When t=0, dT/dt=0... unfortunately that isn't the answer, since I don't use the exhaust speed (and have no idea how I could use it).

Thank you

What if you treated x and t as a variables...
 
Seems like a wonderful idea and totally worked, that problem was so different from the others I've done in fluid mechanics... I have no idea that I needed to use x(t) in my dT/dt.

Thank you Lawrence
