Question

Discuss the factors that govern constant k in the Newton's Law of cooling

Answer 1

Newton's Law of Cooling is a function, that expresses the heat flux between different bodies through the temperature head, which states that the rate of change of the temperature of an object is proportional to the difference between its own temperature and the ambient temperature.
K = (α*S)/C

Answer.
The constant k depends on the surface area, material density, heat transfer coefficient, heat capacity of the thing.
