Engineering Physics and Physics
second experiment inwhich the bratwurst was left to cool in air as would be expected for a human corpse in a real-world situation.A similar experimental procedure was followed, except that the temperature of the air wasmeasured to remain constant at approximately 24 °C. Figure 3 shows the results of a log-linearplot of the temperature difference between the bratwurst and ambient air as a function of time,which is tracked very well by a linear-regression fit. The slope value equals to 0.031 min-1,corresponding to a value of k = 0.07 min-1, which is about a third of the rate in the waterexperiment, reflecting both, the smaller temperature differential as well as the differingconductivities of the water versus air pockets adjacent to the
