Black hole temperature derived from entropy (heat from black hole?)

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the relationship between black hole entropy, temperature, and heat, particularly in the context of Hawking radiation. Participants explore the implications of various formulas and concepts related to black hole thermodynamics, including the derivation of temperature from entropy and the mass-energy equivalence.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Conceptual clarification
  • Debate/contested
  • Mathematical reasoning

Main Points Raised

  • One participant proposes a formula for black hole temperature derived from entropy and questions the validity of the relationship Q = (1/2)M c².
  • Another participant clarifies that the relationship S = Q/T refers to heat capacity rather than entropy, suggesting that entropy changes with energy extraction.
  • A participant suggests that considering individual particles escaping the black hole could explain the mass-energy relationship, but questions the origin of a factor of two needed to align with Hawking radiation results.
  • Further exploration includes a proposed formula for black hole entropy, indicating a linear relationship between temperature and heat extraction, contrasting it with ordinary objects.
  • Discussion includes the idea that the heat emitted from a black hole varies in temperature and entropy as it evaporates.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the relationships between entropy, temperature, and heat in black holes, with no consensus reached on the validity of specific formulas or the factor of two in the context of Hawking radiation.

Contextual Notes

Participants note the complexity of the entropy formulas and the differences in behavior between black holes and ordinary objects, highlighting the need for further clarification on definitions and assumptions regarding heat and entropy.

Hey,

The entropy of a black hole is S = kB (4∏GM2)/(hbar c)

S=Q/T

T= Q/S

T = Q (hbar c)/ (4∏GM2kB)

The temperature derived from hawking radiation is:

T = c3 hbar/ (8 pi G M kB)

Which implies Q = (1/2)M c2

Is this true?

I have found online that the heat should equal to the mass-energy of the black hole,
Mc2

But it was not explained,

Is it correct that Q = (1/2)M c2?

Thanks

Entropy of an object is not Q/T. Heat capacity of an object is Q/T. Heat capacity stays about the same when an object is cooled or heated, but entropy changes when an object is cooled or heated.

If we extract a small amount of heat energy from an object, that heat energy has entropy Q/T, where T is the temperature that the object has during the extraction.

If we do many small extractions of energy from an object, and sum the entropy changes, then we get the entropy of the object.
 
Ah thanks!

So then it does make sense to use the mass-energy of the black hole then, by considering one particle escaping from the black hole at a time which have energy mc^2 then summing them together to get Mc^2.

But where would the factor of two come in? The factor of two that is required to get the same result as that produced using hawking radiation.

Thanks for your answer!

The formula for the entropy of an object would be an useful thing to have.

Temperature T rises linearly when we extract heat from a black hole, and temperature falls NOT linearly when we extract heat from an ordinary object.

So maybe:
for a black hole: S=(1/2)Q/T
for an ordinary object: S= something complicated



ADDITION:
The energy coming out from a massive (lot of heat) black hole is cool heat, containing lot of entropy, according to S=Q/T.
When most heat has evaporated, then the heat coming out is at high temperature, and has low entropy, according to S=Q/T.
In the formula S=(1/2)Q/T
S is the entropy of all the heat that the black hole can produce.
T is the temperature of the coolest heat that the the black hole can produce.
Q is the the heat of the black hole when not any heat has escaped yet.
