[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Is physics useful?

I knew I could trust you.

Anyway, the chicken only needs to be heated to 150 degrees and a 2# chicken is really small

Heat capacity for 1 kg of water is almost 4200 J/kg/C.  I would expect a frozen chicken to be mostly water, but maybe the chicken industry has experimentally determined the heat capacity of a chicken carcass.

 

This calculation does not include heat of fusion necessary to melt ice i.e. to defrost the frozen chicken.

 

Heat will be carried away from the warming chicken by vapor which will also include heat of vaporization which is big. The rate of heat loss will soon equal the rate it is being delivered by the slaps.

 

Including all the physics will make for a much bigger number of slaps. That's a physics calculation.  In addition, any self respecting engineer would provide a margin for error. 

 

Of course you could build an apparatus that slaps the chicken in a closed environment so there is no heat loss while the chicken is being slapped.  Then you will need to supply enough slap energy to heat that apparatus as well as the chicken.

 

Don't invest in this.
