Abstract

In this paper, we use the first law of thermodynamics to obtain a differential equation. After comprehensively consider about evaporative heat loss, convection heat loss and radiation heat loss,we develop the model to discuss the temperature of the bathtub water for different time and different flow rate. The best velocity of hot water at inlet and the best temperature of hot water at inlet can be obtained based on this model so that we can determine the best strategy the person in the bathtub can adopt to keep the temperature even throughout the bathtub. Afterwards, we analyze the effect of some critical factors such as the shape/volume of bathtub, the shape/volume/temperature of body, motions and bubble bath additive to water temperature. And also, we discuss other factors that we consider important, for instance, the installation location of faucet and over flow hole.
