Question

When a furnace runs, it needs to get to temperature, hold at that # temperature, then cool down. # # Build a function that determines when a furnace will finish its run # given heating_rate (K/s), hold_time (s), hold_temp (K), and # cooling_rate (K/s). You can assume 300 K for your start and end # temperature. # # hold time / time # ________________ # / \ # heating / \ coolilng # / \ # / \ # # ============================================================================= # you should get 135 seconds with these parameters heating_rate = 1 hold_time = 60 hold_temp = 350 cooling_rate = 2

This is in python.

Answer 1

Answer:

here is the function:

def get_time(heating_rate, hold_time, hold_temp, cooling_rate):
time_to_heat = (hold_temp - 300)/heating_rate
  
time_to_cool = (hold_temp - 300)/cooling_rate
  
return time_to_heat + hold_time + time_to_cool

print(get_time(1, 60, 350, 2))
