Homework Statement


What is the unit of the system-universe temperature variation coefficient?

The system is a container holding a mass of water. T
The universe I guess is the room temperature. Troom
t is time in seconds.
[tex]\Psi[/tex] is the temperature variation coefficient.

Homework Equations


[tex]\Delta[/tex]T / [tex]\Delta[/tex]t = [tex]\Psi[/tex](T - Troom)
[tex]\Psi[/tex]t = ln ((To - Troom) / (T - Troom))

The Attempt at a Solution


Since it is temperature over time I thought that it would be degrees per second? But that is angular velocity so I'm sure that's not it.
