Newton's Law of Cooling Differential Equation Newton's Law of Cooling Differential Equation Through various scientific experimental proofs that surface temperature of an object changes at a rate that is proportional to its relative temperature. It means that it shows the difference between its temperature and the relevant surrounding temperature. The method or concept is known as Newton’s Law of cooling. The Newton’s law of cooling law is used to model the changes in the temperature of the things or an object of a different temperature that is placed in some temperature. According to the Newton’s law of cooling states that: dte / dt = k ( te – r ) newton Law of Cooling Differential Equation In above equation ‘te’ is used to denote the temperature of the any object at time ‘t’. Here we use another symbol ‘r’ which is used to denote the temperature of the surrounding environment like temperature of the room and the ‘k’ is constant variable that shows the proportionality.

So, the equation of Newton’s law of cooling says that the rate of change of temperature is proportional to the change between the temperature of the given object and the temperature of the surrounding. We can use this equation by solving the differential equation. The steps are given below for solving the Newton’s Law of Cooling Differential Equation: a) Separate all the given variables in an equation, for the differential put all the te’s on the one side and after that arrange all the t’s on the other side. At last remaining variables which constant variables can be put on any available side. Equation is shown belowdte / te – r = k dt, b) After performing the above step, now we need to anti-differentiate the both sides of the equation. ln ( te – r ) = k t + c, c)

Now we will leave it in the previous form or solve for te, te = ekt + c + r,

By following the all above steps we can easily solve the problem related to Newton’s law of cooling. It means that to find the changes in temperature of given object in the particular environment can be performed using the above differential equation steps. Using the above steps we get a useful equation. In the given equation ‘t’ is the time variable of the Newton’s law. The other related variables are r, k and c are the variables.

In order to find the temperature of the thing at a time ‘t’, all the constants have to be numeric values. Example: Imagine that a corpse discovered in a room at the midnight and its temperature was 70o F. The temperature of the room is kept as constant at 50o F. After three hours the temperature of the corps dropped to 65o F. Find the time of death? Solution: First we find the temperature of corps: k = - 1 / 2 ln (65 – 50 / 70 – 50) = 0.1438, Now we calculate the death time: dt = - 1 / k ln ( 98.6 – 50 / 70 – 50 ), = - 4.57 hours, It means that the end time of corpse is 7:26 P.M.
