More Lumped Capacitance

Last post we looked at another extension of lumped capacitance beyond our original exploration here and here.  In the last post, we looked at a case where the heat transfer coefficient increased linearly with time, which might be a good approximation for the initial moments of the heat transfer for an object in a duct with the fan just starting up.  Today we’ll look at a case where the heat transfer coefficient is decreasing.
