Biot number = 0.0083 Lumped capacitance valid. Time to reach 50°C = 197.8 s

MATLAB enables efficient solution of heat transfer problems:

% Time vector t = linspace(0, 300, 500); % seconds

Some MATLAB codes for heat transfer problems may require patching to fix bugs or compatibility issues. You can find patched MATLAB codes for heat transfer on various online platforms, including MATLAB Rapidshare.
