Chicken is cooked at 74C. So you need to supply 71C of energy to cook the chicken. The specific heat capacity of chicken is 2.72kJ per kg per degC so 71x2720 = 183120J. A slap might generate about 10N which if perfectly converted to heat would supply about 0.1J. So you'd need to slap it 1.83 million times. Assuming no heat loss between slaps and that the hear would be evenly spread throughout the chicken. Or you'd need to slap it 1.83 million times harder than a typical slap. I not sure the "after" picture would look much like chicken. Well you asked. And I knew you'd answer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I always wonder why fairly prolific posters just stop posting. I hope its nothing serious as to why they have stopped. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or two VTers have passed away and it's nice they have threads dedicated to them, but when I'm bored i hover over a thread author's profile pic and see that they haven't logged on in about 6 years (general chat topic, for example)...and i wonder if THEY wonder if their thread is still active, or if they're still with us ?

Rugeley Villa Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 I clicked on Ingram yesterday, and realised he hasn’t been on here since October. It’s so easy to fall behind and not keep up with the chat on VT. I know you can skip back pages, but I don’t really like doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I felt that it took too much of my time and decided to take a break. That break got rather long and I wasn't even thinking about VT for a long time. I had too much else to do. Now I'm back I'm here less than I was before that break. Which I think is good. For everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
