Engineering systems 1st order (ideas I had), any good?

Homework Statement

none

Relevant Equations

none

Considering at least two engineering systems, evaluate how 1st Order Differential Equations are useful in solving problems within those systems I have chosen 3 options. just wanted to check if these counted do you think.
1. machinery funnelling/dispensing of liquids into bottles on conveyor belt in bottling plants.
- 1st order equation to measure liquied level.
-Helps measure water level, which can be used to know how long it takes dispense the liquied, which can be used to calibrate systems so processes are efficent.
- Problem of conveyor belt not calibrated properly so liquids dispensed before or after bottle is ready or bottle moves on to quickly.
2. Enginer and heat exchnagers
- 1st order equation measure heat exchange.
- Helps workout quantity of heat to be dispense, which can be used to redesign or amend the engine (add extra fins, remove coating, chose better conductors)
- Problem of engine producing to much heat and can not dispense of it.

3. Automated Parking Systems- 1st order equation to measure speed of car entering and exiting the lot. - Helps figure out the amount of time it takes for a car to enter/exit parking lot, which can be used to adjust sensors for automated entry/exit.- Problem of cars not being detected properly as they enter or leave lot.
