Length of cooling including latent heat

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on calculating the duration of latent heat transition during cooling processes. The user initially sought guidance on this calculation, speculating that mass influences the duration. Ultimately, the solution involves understanding convection principles to determine the heat transfer rate (dQ/dt), which is essential for calculating the phase transition duration accurately.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of latent heat and phase transitions
  • Knowledge of convection heat transfer principles
  • Familiarity with the concept of heat transfer rate (dQ/dt)
  • Basic thermodynamics concepts
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the principles of latent heat and its calculation methods
  • Study convection heat transfer and its impact on cooling processes
  • Explore detailed thermodynamic equations related to phase transitions
  • Learn about practical applications of dQ/dt in thermal systems
USEFUL FOR

Thermal engineers, physicists, and anyone involved in heat transfer analysis or studying phase transitions in materials.

Hello,

I would like to know how to calculate how long the phase transition when cooling lasts. So basically how long the latent transition lasts.

I really don't have any ideas how this could be calculated, although I would assume it is function of the mass.

Any help is much appreciated.

Nvm found the solution; knowing the convection allows the the dQ/dt to be calculated. The rest is common sense.
