Greetings everyone:
I am trying to create a software for estimating temperature for a liquid in a group of tanks lying side by side touching each other in a span of 24 hours. The initial data with me is:
X THE FINAL TEMPERATURE OF THE TWO TANKS WHEN THEY COME INTO EQUILIBRIUM
T1 and T2 - Initial Temperature in Celsius where T1 > T2
Mass of liquid in two tanks (assuming they are equal) M1 and M2 in Metric Tonnes
Specific Heat Capacity C1 and C2 in J/Ton C.
I have used used conduction method- M1 X C1 X (T1 - X) = M2 X C2 X (X - T2). Now this is giving me X Degree Celsius which is the final temperature of two tanks when thermal equilibrium is reached. However I need to display (using software) temperature at each time intervals, starting from initial 0 to the time when equilibrium is reached and both tanks have X Degree Celsius.
I know I need to use heat loss factor. But how to go about it?
