Calculations for raising temperature in specific amount of time

AI Thread Summary
To calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of a rubber sphere by 20 degrees Celsius in 10 seconds using radiation, the specific heat capacity formula q = m x Cg x (Tf - Ti) is relevant for determining the heat energy needed. However, this formula does not provide the time factor for achieving the temperature change. To estimate the time required, factors such as the intensity of radiation, surface area of the sphere, and heat transfer efficiency must be considered. Understanding the rate of heat transfer through radiation will be crucial for solving the timing aspect of the problem. Further exploration into the principles of thermal radiation and heat transfer could provide the necessary insights.

Hi,

I am trying to calculate the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of a
rubber sphere by 20 degree's Celcius within 10 seconds. The rubber sphere will be
heated via radiation in a closed system.

I have calculated the specific heat capactity, by using the formula

q = m x Cg x (Tf - Ti)

However, it does not tell me how long it will take for the sphere to reach
the desired temperature.

Disclaimer : I am not a student and this is not a homework question.

Regards,
