Abstract

In this article, we apply thermodynamics and two-dimensional finite element to set up the temperature model and use PDETOOL in MATLAB to obtain the distribution of temperature of the water bath. Firstly, based on the time and space,we formulated a model to account for the average temperature of the water bath and the flow rate of the water from taps.Then we analyze the two-dimensional finite element.We try to find out the factors that affect the temperature distribution, such as the position the faucet and shape of the bath tub.And we find that the oval bathtub is better than the rectangular tub in terms of water saving.We take the oval tub as an example, and get the temperature distribution and energy flow of the bath.
