Latter I'll see if I can post a picture of it, but really I am just interested in the math at this point. More than anything I am curious how to calculate the rate of heat soaking into a material based on it's shape. In the past I encountered a situations where I was unsure how fast heat would...

I must have a strange one because the glue stick is pushed into the nozzle which has a heat coil where the nozzle threads into the hot glue gun. I am sure it does not do the bulk of the heat transfer, but now I am just curious.

Thanks for the response - For the purpose of this problems, let's simply set a target temperature of 70 C. After looking at this problem some more, I realize that I will need to know how much energy the material holds before I know how much the temperature will increase. How do I calculate...

I am building a nozzle for my hot glue gun, and it has made me realize that my math skills have become quite rusty. My goal is to figure out how fast I can extrude a hot glue stick through nozzle of different lengths. My assumption is that the longer the nozzle is (assuming I keep it at...
