Newton's Law of Cooling

dQ = -h(T-Ta)dt = mcdT

Q is thermal energy

h is the heat transfer coefficient

T is the temperature of the water

Ta is the temperature of the air (environment)

t is time

m is mass of water

c is specific heat capacity of water

The heat transfer coefficient h depends on both the surface area and

/alpha = h/a
