*Prepare models using the concept of differential equation for
thermal cooling*
Isaac Newton studied cooling of bodies. Experiments showed that the
cooling rate of temperature between the heated body and the
environment. This fact can be written as the differential relationship.
Sometime when we need only approximate values from Newton’s law, we can assume a constant
rate of cooling, which is equal to the rate of cooling corresponding to the average temperature of
the body during the interval.
i.e. dθ\dt = k(<q> – q0) . . . . . . . (4)
If qi and qf be the initial and final temperature of the body then,
<q> = (qi + qf)/2 . . . . . (5)
Remember equation (5) is only an approximation and equation (1) must be used for exact values.
EXAMPLES:
Example 1. A body at temperature 40ºC is kept in a surrounding of constant temperature 20ºC. It
is observed that its temperature falls to 35ºC in 10 minutes. Find how much more time will it
take for the body to attain a temperature of 30ºC.
From Newtons law of cooling, qf = qi e-kt
Now, for the interval in which temperature falls from 40 to 35oC.
(35 – 20) = (40 – 20) e-k.10
e-10k = 3/4 k = [ln 4/3]/10 .
. . . (a)
Now, for the next interval;
(30 – 20) = (35 – 20)e-kt e-
kt
= 2/3 kt = ln 3/2 . . . . (b)
From equation (a) and (b); t = 10 ×
[ln(3/2)/ln(4/3)]= 14.096 min
Aliter : (by approximate method)
For the interval in which temperature falls from 40 to 35oC
<q> = (40 + 35)/2 = 37.5ºC
From equation (4); dθ/dt =
k(<q> – q0) (35 – 40)/10 =
k(37.5 – 20) k = 1/32 min-1
Now, for the interval in which temperature falls from 35oC to 30oC
<q> = (35 + 30)/2 = 32.5oC
From equation (4);
(30 – 35)/t = (32.5 – 20)
Therefore, the required time t = 5/12.5 × 35 = 14 min.
Example 2: The oil is heated to 70oC. It cools to 50oC after 6 minutes. Calculate the time taken
by the oil to cool from 50oC to 40oC given the surrounding temperature Ts = 25oC.
Solution:
Given:Temperature of oil after 6 min, T(t) = 50oC,
• Ts = 25oC,
• To = 70oC,
• t = 6 minOn substituting the given data in Newton’s law of cooling formula, we get;
T(t) = Ts + (Ts – To) e-kt
[T(t) – Ts]/[To – Ts] = e-kt -kt
ln = [ln T(t) – Ts]/To – Ts k
= – (-0.555/6) = 0.092
If T(t) = 45oC (average temperature as the temperature decreases from 50oC to 40oC)
Time taken is -kt ln e = [ln T(t) – Ts]/[To – Ts]
-(0.092) t = ln 45 – 25/[70 – 25]
-0.092 t = -0.597 t = -0.597/-
0.092 = 6.489 min.
