Chapter 6, Problem 6.7P
Suppose a wet mixture of old bread, leaves, and soil is placed in a pile 1 m tall, and a long thermometer is struck in the middle of the pile. Every other day. the pile is aerated by throwing the mixture into a new pile. Draw a graph showing the temperature in the pile during the first two weeks and explain why these temperature changes occurs.
