Differential Equation with growth

So, I have a differential equation with growth problem. It is a dm/dt function and I need to get it to dD/dt, change in diameter with time.

here is the original functon,
dm/dt= (pi/4)(D)^2* (V(D))*(LWC)*E

E=1
LWC = 2
V(D) = 343D^0.6 m/s

it starts from a diameter of 1mm and grows to 5mm and I need to find the time it takes.

I'm not asking for anyone to solve the problem and give me a final solution, but I need help in getting the dD/dt function.

I thought this was it... but its not:
multiplying by dt ___ dm = [(pi/4)(D)^2 * (v) * (LWC) (E)] dt

integrating ___ m = [(pi/4)(D)^2 * (v) * (LWC) (E)] t

dividing ___ m / [(pi/4)(D)^2 * (v) * (LWC) (E)] = t


thanks

I don't see how you can possibly change from dm/dt to dD/dt without knowing how m is related to D.
 
m=(pi/6)(density)(D^3)
 
There is the following linear Volterra equation of the second kind $$ y(x)+\int_{0}^{x} K(x-s) y(s)\,{\rm d}s = 1 $$ with kernel $$ K(x-s) = 1 - 4 \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{1}{\lambda_n^2} e^{-\beta \lambda_n^2 (x-s)} $$ where $y(0)=1$, $\beta>0$ and $\lambda_n$ is the $n$-th positive root of the equation $J_0(x)=0$ (here $n$ is a natural number that numbers these positive roots in the order of increasing their values), $J_0(x)$ is the Bessel function of the first kind of zero order.

Are there any good visualization tutorials, written or video, that show graphically how separation of variables works? I particularly have the time-independent Schrodinger Equation in mind. There are hundreds of demonstrations out there which essentially distill to copies of one another. However I am trying to visualize in my mind how this process looks graphically - for example plotting t on one axis and x on the other for f(x,t). I have seen other good visual representations of...
