Derive newton's law of cooling from stefan's law
Rate of cooling of the body is directly proportional to the temperature difference of body and surrounding if temperature difference is small.
From Stefan's Law
Where A = Surface area of a body
T = Absolute temperature of body
T0 = Temperature of surrounding
If the temperature difference is small,
So, T = T0 + ΔT
We neglect higher power of
Hence,
The body may also lose energy due to convection in the surrounding air. It also depends on surface area and temperature difference of body.
Δu2 = b2 A (T – T0)
The net rate of lose of thermal energy due to convection and radiation
Δu = Δu1 + Δu2
= (b1 + b2) A (T – T0)
Rate of fall of temperature is
Where m = mass of object
s = specific heat capacity
This is Newton’s law of cooling.
