In industrial settings, the R value is measured using a heat flux sensor, which often sells for about $300 and up. We\u2019ve applied (tested) our model by estimating the R value of a cup of water using time temperature data, and then using the R value and differential equations to estimate the time it takes to heat the water in the cup using an immersion heater, taking into account the heat loss or gain to the surroundings. So far, the project\u2019s emphasis is on mathematical modeling.<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-827\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/382\/2022\/05\/Heat-insulation-symposium-2-Hiep-Nguyen_Page_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1700\" height=\"2200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/382\/2022\/05\/Heat-insulation-symposium-2-Hiep-Nguyen_Page_2.jpg 1700w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/382\/2022\/05\/Heat-insulation-symposium-2-Hiep-Nguyen_Page_2-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/382\/2022\/05\/Heat-insulation-symposium-2-Hiep-Nguyen_Page_2-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/382\/2022\/05\/Heat-insulation-symposium-2-Hiep-Nguyen_Page_2-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/382\/2022\/05\/Heat-insulation-symposium-2-Hiep-Nguyen_Page_2-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/382\/2022\/05\/Heat-insulation-symposium-2-Hiep-Nguyen_Page_2-1583x2048.jpg 1583w, https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/382\/2022\/05\/Heat-insulation-symposium-2-Hiep-Nguyen_Page_2-816x1056.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1700px) 100vw, 1700px\" \/><\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":5546,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"portfolio_post_id":0,"portfolio_citation":"","portfolio_annotation":"","openlab_post_visibility":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[289],"tags":[12,306,305],"coauthors":[290],"class_list":["post-825","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bars2022","tag-mathematics","tag-modeling","tag-physics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5546"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=825"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":983,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/825\/revisions\/983"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=825"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/openlab.bmcc.cuny.edu\/research-and-scholarship\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
