Comments on HTMI Chapter 4 • Key points: • Most of what most of you (and I) assumed initially could be completely ignored! • Mathematically, a much more complex problem than HTMI Chapter 2. • If you think strategically about problems like these, you can often use a much simpler model to get close to a reasonable solution. • Think carefully about how you present your work (“here is the right answer” vs. presenting trends that you know to be true from engineering fundamentals)
Warning! • Some of you did not actually answer the president’s question! • He put the beer in the fridge – how long before he can drink it? • Some of you proposed alternate solutions that would indeed cool the beer more quickly, but the grumpy president is not interested in reason. • If the fridge is at 10°C, can you ever use it to cool the beer to less than that temperature?
