Find rate of temperature change using heat capacity, density and area

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the rate of temperature change using heat capacity, density, and surface area. The user calculated the rate of heat change as dQ/dt = 746593.71 W with a temperature of T = 883K and surface area SA = 21.66 m². They derived mass using the formula M = pV, resulting in M = 27689.783 kg. The key equation for relating heat change to temperature change is Q = mcΔT, and the user is guided to consider the relationship between dQ/dt and the change in temperature over time.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermodynamics principles, specifically heat transfer.
  • Familiarity with the specific heat capacity formula Q = mcΔT.

Relevant Equations
dQ/dt=Ae*5.67E-8*T^4
So first I found rate of heat change using the above equation, with T=883K, e=1, SA= 6*l^2=21.66

Now dQ/dt=746593.71 W

Now I am not sure entirely what to do next. They give density so I likely have to get the mass from that, M=pV,=1.9^3*4037=27689.783 kg.

My issue is that I don't know how to relate change in heat to h=change in temperature.

I could try Q=mc(change in T). But I have change in Q, not Q. Not sure how I would integrate dQ/dT either...

Answer is -0.04121 btw.

What is the definition of specific heat capacity? Might be relevant...

You have Q = mcΔT. Let Δt be the time interval corresponding to the change in temperature ΔT. Think about the equation that you get by dividing both sides of Q = mcΔT by Δt. For small Δt, how does the left side relate to dQ/dt?

So I can find dQ/dt using dQ/dt=A*5.67E-8*T^4

I can find m using m=pV

And I know Q=mc(change in T)

But dQ/dt isn't Q. Or can I just put it in the equation anyways and solve for change in T and it will work?
 
$$\frac{dQ}{dt}=mc\frac{dT}{dt}$$
