Equation for time to boil water? Some T over t dropping....

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the complexities of calculating the time required to boil water, emphasizing that there is no straightforward formula. Key factors influencing this calculation include heat conduction, convection, and evaporation. Participants agree that these elements must be considered to accurately determine boiling time, especially at lower temperatures.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of heat transfer principles, including conduction and convection.
  • Basic knowledge of thermodynamics related to phase changes, particularly evaporation.
  • Familiarity with the properties of water and its boiling point variations.
  • Experience with mathematical modeling of physical processes.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of heat conduction and convection in fluid dynamics.
  • Study the thermodynamic properties of water, focusing on phase changes and boiling points.
  • Explore mathematical models for calculating heat transfer in liquids.
  • Investigate experimental methods for measuring boiling time under varying conditions.
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics or engineering, researchers in thermodynamics, and anyone interested in the scientific principles behind boiling water and heat transfer calculations.

Hi, I am sorry I just forgot formula to calculate how long it will take to boiling water -> some lower temp.
Thanks in advance.
