Models With Ordinary Differential Equations With Energy

The document discusses energy balance models with ordinary differential equations. It provides the conservation statement for total energy under steady and unsteady conditions. It then shows an example problem of calculating the temperature of a building after a given time based on initial and boundary conditions.

EXAMPLE

Suppose that in the winter day time temperature in a certain office building is maintained at 70 °F and the outside
temperature was 45 °F. The temperature of the building after 2h was found to be 65 °F. What was the temperature
inside the building after 8h?
