I guess I should have mentioned that I do include thermal storage within the
materials. This behaves much like a capacitor and charge. That is what
determines the time domain characteristics of my model.
I was referring to a different type of delay, such as one that might show up if
the temperature were applied to the core for a period of time and then some
internal nuclear process, or whatever, begins to put out energy that builds up
with time to its final value.
The other normal case is handled well. It seems as though a two time constant
system works well at the present time.

Hi,
[snip]
My model can use any function that I choose for this purpose with the
exception
of delay mechanisms. I suppose that they could also be incorporated if there
is
a good reason to believe that they are present and important.
The cooling will always be delayed somewhat, due to the slow speed of thermal
conduction. Hence thermal resistance will always play a crucial role. The lower
the resistance, the faster the cooling can respond, and the more easily a high
value exponent function can be controlled.
