Undergrad Calculation of temperature changes (heating a cube in a microwave oven)
thanks for all the advices :) @Chestermiller I'm currently not at home so i dont know the exact data but maybe we could first work with imaginary values (if thats possible) and when i get home ill try to apply the procedure to the real data: L = 0,1m k = 0,5 W/m*K c_p = 1000 J/kg*K R = 2000...- salazar7

Undergrad Calculation of temperature changes (heating a cube in a microwave oven)
thank you very much for your efforts. but unfortunately i'm a bit stumped because i don't know how to implement/apply this. I don't know if this is important to know, but I only have discrete values. So I only know the surface temperature at the time before heating and 20 seconds after heating- salazar7

Undergrad Calculation of temperature changes (heating a cube in a microwave oven)
My very first thought was this: Assumption: surface temperature presents the average temperature of the whole cube (so the cube is really small/thin) First, you could calculate the heat absorbed during heating Q_h = m * c_p * (T_1 - T_0) Then the cooling Q_c = m * c_p * (T_2 - T_1) We...- salazar7

Undergrad Calculation of temperature changes (heating a cube in a microwave oven)
Hello guys, [FONT=arial]I am currently running an experiment in my hobby room: I want to heat a cube in a microwave and then measure the surface temperature. Unfortunately, it takes about 20 seconds, so the cube cools down during this time which means I don't measure the actual temperature...- salazar7

Undergrad Area under the curve of a temperature-time graph -> energy?
@Steve4Physics oh that was my mistake. I actually only wanted to show the function of the heating process but I accidentally let the temperature sensor continue to run after the heating process and forgot to shorten the diagram on the time axis, which is why a quadratic function is displayed and...- salazar7

Undergrad Area under the curve of a temperature-time graph -> energy?
And the DeltaT would be T(10) - T(0)? i.e. the temperature at the end of heating minus the temperatur before the start of heating right? But can you think of any way to interpret the integral of a temperatur-time graph, even if we have to multipy/divide it by something beforehand? Or should I...- salazar7

Undergrad Area under the curve of a temperature-time graph -> energy?
The cube is heated using a microwave "oven". Unfortunately, I cant tell you the exact distance to the heat source, but I hope that it probably doesn't matter any more (correct me if I'm wrong), as the heat is "generated" in the specimen itself because of the heating mechanism of the microwaves...- salazar7

Undergrad Area under the curve of a temperature-time graph -> energy?
Thanks Lnewqban for the warm welcome and the quick reply. You're absolutely right. Perhaps it will help if I explain the exerpiment: I have a test specimen (cuboid) that has a hole in it. A temperature sensor is inserted into this hole to measure the heating of the test specimen from inside...- salazar7

Undergrad Area under the curve of a temperature-time graph -> energy?
Hello everyone, hope you are all well. I have the following problem: I have a temperatur-time graph. If you determine the integral of this graph, you get the unit [kelvin*second]. This unit is as far as I know meaningless. Is it possible to mathematically "transform" the area under the curve...- salazar7
