INTRODUCTION
COOLING CURVE
A graph that shows how the temperature changes with
time as a substance is cooled down.
It has a horizontal flat parts, or the plateau, where the
phase modifies from liquid to solid or from gas to liquid.
The slope in the graph is due to the temperature difference
between the substance and the surroundings as the
substance cools.
INTRODUCTION
It is related to the heat capacity, the external temperature,
and thermal conductivity.
The more heat is required to alter the substance’s
temperature, the slower it cools, thus the gradient of the
curve is smaller.
Heat is transferred faster when the thermal conductivity is
higher making the substance cool rapidly.
