The dynamic behavior of a packed-bed reactor can be approximated by a transfer function model

where T₁ is the inlet temperature, T is the outlet temperature (?C), and the time constants are in hours. The inlet temperature varies in a cyclic fashion due to the changes in ambient temperature from day to night. As an approximation, assume that T?₁ varies sinusoidally with a period of 24 hours and amplitude of 12^oC. What is the maximum variation in the outlet temperature, T?
