Derive an algebraic expression for the temperature of blood


Blood at 37°C enters the left ventricle (LV) of a skier at a rate of 100 ml/s. At time t = 0, the skier steps outside and begins to breathe in very cold air. Consequently, the temperature of blood entering the ventricle is suddenly reduced to 34°C. Assume the ventricle has a constant volume of 100 ml, the ventricle is wellmixed, and the specific heats and densities of blood are independent of temperature. (a) Derive an algebraic expression for the temperature of blood exiting from the ventricle as a function of time. (b) What will be the temperature of blood emerging from the ventricle after a long period of time?
