SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the application of Newton's Law of Cooling to determine the time required to chill white wine from 70°F to 56°F using ice at 32°F. It is established that the differential equation (dfq) governing this cooling process is essential for solving the problem. Participants emphasize the necessity for the original poster to derive the differential equation themselves, suggesting that it is likely covered in their textbook. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the underlying principles of thermodynamics in practical scenarios.

PREREQUISITES
  • Newton's Law of Cooling
  • Differential equations
  • Basic thermodynamics
  • Understanding of temperature scales
NEXT STEPS
  • Study Newton's Law of Cooling in detail
  • Practice solving differential equations
  • Explore practical applications of thermodynamics in everyday scenarios
  • Review temperature conversion methods and their implications
USEFUL FOR

Students in physics or engineering, anyone interested in thermodynamics, and individuals looking to apply mathematical principles to real-world cooling scenarios.

white wine @ room temp 70F is chilled in ice (32F). It takes 15 mins for wine to chill to 60F, how long will it take for the wine to reach 56F:rolleyes:

I don't see a differential equation, nor to I see an attempted solution. Both of those are required for you to get help here.
 
You have to come up with the dfq.

:smile: Am I imagining that last post?
 
I seriously doubt that you are expected to re-discover Newton's law of cooling. Have a look at that link, then please post your thoughts on how to proceed.

No, you have to come up the the diffeq, not us!:rolleyes:

As Tom Mattson said, Newton's law of cooling. It's probably given in your textbook.
