Problem G. 610. (October 2017)

G. 610. A meteorite of mass \(\displaystyle m\), of specific heat capacity \(\displaystyle c\) and of specific latent heat of fusion \(\displaystyle L\), consists of some material which is extremely good heat conductor. When it reaches the atmosphere of the Earth the temperature of the meteorite is \(\displaystyle \Delta T\) below its melting point. In the atmosphere due to friction heat is generated in it at a rate of \(\displaystyle P\). How long does it take for the meteorite to be melted totally?

Sorry, the solution is available only in Hungarian. Google translation

Megoldás. Az olvadásig \(\displaystyle t=\frac{m(c\Delta T+L)}{P}\) idő telik el.
