        For your info and for your education:


In this problem, which includes thawing, temperature goes through the phase change temperature.

In such problems,  temperature  IS  NOT  an exponential function of time.

It is known to all who studied/learned Physics and/or Science.

THEREFORE,  this problem is different from the standard  " exponential decay "  problems.

    +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
    |    It is a full scale heat transfer problem, which must include   |
    |          other additional parameters to be solved.                |
    +-------------------------------------------------------------------+

I tell it to you as an  EXPERT  in such problems.

    +----------------------------------------------------------+
    |    So you better EXCLUDE it from your list of problems   |
    |    until you will learn relevant theory in the future.   |
