Question: A liquid solid phase change material ( sodium acetate ) of mass 1 0 0 g . Initial temperature of the liquid is at 5

A liquid solid phase change material (sodium acetate) of mass 100 g . Initial temperature of the liquid is at 58\deg C.The transient surface heat transfer rate during the isothermal phase change is given by the following relations :
Q=Q_0(1-t/pi)
Value of Q_0 is 50 watt.
Assume heat of melting of sodium acetate is deltah_si=2.18\times 10^5 J/Kg
Melting/freezing point of sodium acetate is T_ls=58\deg C
Assume that the amount of heat released by isothermal phase change will be removed by the transient heat transfer.
Find the elapsed time, torque_in second.
