1、2013 Contest Problems MCM PROBLEMS PROBLEM A: The Ultimate Brownie Pan When baking in a rectangular pan heat is concentrated in the 4 corners and the product gets overcooked at the corners(and to a lesser extent at the edges).In a round panthe heat is distributed evenly over the entire out
2、er edge andtheproduct is not overcooked at the edges.However,since mostovens are rectangular in shape using round pans isnot efficient with respect to using the space in an oven. Develop a model to show the distribution of heat across theouter edge of a pan for pans of different shapes -
3、rectangular to circular and other shapes in between.Assume 1.A width to length ratio of W/L for the oven which isrectangular in shape. 2.Each pan must have an area of A. 3.Initially two racks in the oven, evenly spaced. Develop a model that can be used to select the best type of pan (sha
