Calculation Formula

T(t) = Tfinal + (Tinitial - Tfinal) * e^(-kt)

Where:
T(t) = Temperature at time t
Tinitial = Initial Temperature
Tfinal = Final Temperature
k = Cooling Constant
t = Time

Result

Cooling Time (t): -- seconds

How to Use the Cooling Time Calculator

  1. Enter the initial temperature of the object in degrees Celsius.
  2. Enter the final temperature to which the object should cool down in degrees Celsius.
  3. Enter the cooling constant, which is a value representing how quickly the object cools down per degree Celsius. This value can vary depending on the material and environment.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the cooling time.
  5. The result will be displayed in seconds.

Understanding the Formula

The calculator uses the exponential cooling model described by the formula:

T(t) = Tfinal + (Tinitial - Tfinal) * e^(-kt)

Where:

  • T(t) is the temperature at time t.
  • Tinitial is the initial temperature.
  • Tfinal is the final temperature.
  • k is the cooling constant.
  • t is the time.

The cooling time is calculated by solving for t when T(t) equals Tfinal.
