HP Prime: Black Hole Characteristics – Hawking
Radiation
Equations
Used
Given
the mass (either in kg or solar masses), the following equations can estimate
these black hole characteristics:
Swartzchild
Radius (in m):
R
= M * G/c^2
Life
time left as the black hole slowly radiates (in s):
t
= M^3 * 5120 * π * G^2 / (hbar * c^4)
The
HP Prime uses the conversion for seconds to years:
1
year ≈ 31556925.9747 s
Average
temperature of the black hole (K):
temp
= (hbar * c^3)/(M * 8 * k * π * G)
If
you need to convert to °C subtract 273.15 from this result.
Surface
area of the black hole (m^2):
sa
= (M^2 * 16 * π * G^2)/c^4
Surface
gravity of the black hole (m/s^2), as you can imagine, this will be a huge
number:
gr
= c^4 / (M * 4 * G)
Constants
Used
Values
are taken from the HP Prime
Universal Gravitation Constant
G
= 6.67384 * 10^-11 m^3/(kg * s^2)
Speed of Light
c
= 299792458 m/s
Plank Constant Divided by 2*π
hbar
= 1.054571726 * 10^-34 J*s
Boltzmann Constant
k
= 1.3806488 * 10^-23 J/K

Note: (1/23/2018)
The line in red used to read IF ch:=2 THEN, this is an error on my part. The above code is now correct. (Alternatively, IF ch=2 THEN also works) Much appreciation to hfw and Salvomic on HP Museum of Calculators for pointing this error to me!
