Don't worry, I ended up just using 12, most likely unreliable, but it will do the job, thanks for the help Do I have to mark this as solved? I am not sure how

Ok, i looked into that a bit, but I can't find the convective heat coefficient of ice anywhere, any idea where I can find it, I need to be able to reference it though

Thanks, I don't suppose you have a reference though? Is h the transfer coefficient of water or ice?

ok, so i understand from further reading this will require some pretty heavy maths, like calculus, using furface area, convection, radiation, conduction and such, does anyone know the formula so I can perhaps try to simplify it?

Qlost=Qgained MC∆T(watermelon)=MC∆T(soda) 9.89x4186x(26.4-t)=(0.35x12)x3800x(t-3.35) 1092947.856-41399.54t=15960t-53466 57359.54t=1146413.856 t=19.98645484 so the final temperature of the system will be approximately 20°C
