- Abstract
This paper mainly focuses on how to maintain the water temperature close to the initial temperature while bathing. Using law of energy conservation, we establish differential equations to figure out the function between water temperature and time. After adding 40oC hot water to the tub, the water temperature would reach the comfortable temperature after about 160 seconds. The total water consumption is approximately 3.60m3 . In our sensitivity, we analysis several factors that mainly influence the results separately.
