Hi Carla,

I see that you are looking for a way to model the attached differential equation in Simulink. For a thermal system, you can model the heat transfer dynamics, including conduction, convection, and radiation, using Simulink's built-in blocks and functionalities.

You can simulate the given equation by creating a new blank model and using the follwoing built- in blocks:

1. Integrator Block
2. Gain Block
3. Constant Block
4. Sum Block

Additionally, you will need to connect these blocks and configure them appropriately for the accurate simulation of the equation.

You may also add scope blocks and configure the simulation time to view the graph of temperature over time.

The following documentation explains in detail on how to model the differential equations in Simulink:

Hope this helps!
