Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Typical physicist, ignoring enthalpy of phase changes. Starting from 1C defrosted makes a huge difference from 0C as the melting takes up a ton more energy/slaps. Their underslapped chicken would give you salmonella

And the phase change from uncooked to cooked.

Where do I find cooked in the phase diagram?

Also completely neglecting that not all the energy in a slap will be transferred to thermal energy in the chicken.

Assume a spherical chicken...

They haven't considered rate of slap. Significant heat transfer to environment even at 10 slaps per second.

They're also assuming sea level standard atmospheric conditions. You may need to reduce rate of slap at altitude.

Also only about half the heat goes into the chicken and the other half into the hand used for slapping

This assumes both have the same amount of heat capacity * mass. A hand with heat insulating gloves would also significantly reduce heat loss.

Better do it in a vacuum though, you'll lose energy to air resistance

I believe we're well on our way to developing the worlds first slap coefficient.
