With the passage of time temperature difference between hot liquid and room temperature decreases, then gradually it will become zero. Hence as time increases delta T decreases we will get a straight line in the Plot.

@Mr. Shan Rana, how it will give a straight line?

It will give a straight line as per Newton law of cooling.

LMTD is varies as 1/ΔT.

As time increases, ΔT decreases (i. E temperature difference hot liquid and room). In this case, LMTD value is proportional to time. Hence graph is a straight line.
