About Ice Melting Time Calculator (Formula)

The Ice Melting Time Calculator uses the following formula to calculate the time it takes for ice to melt:

T=HoF∗m/P

Where:

• $T$ is the time it takes for the ice to melt (in seconds).
• $\text{HoF}$ is the Heat of Fusion of Ice (in joules per kilogram, J/kg).
• $m$ is the mass of the ice (in kilograms, kg).
• $P$ is the power transferred to the ice (in watts, W).

The formula is derived from the basic energy equation, where the energy required to melt the ice is given by the Heat of Fusion ($\text{HoF}$) times the mass of the ice ($m$). This energy is divided by the power ($P$) to get the time ($T$) in seconds.

Keep in mind that this calculator assumes constant conditions and doesn’t account for factors like heat loss to the environment, so it provides an approximate estimate. If you need more accurate results, additional considerations may be necessary.
