Apr 25, 2022 at 14:42 comment added Lawton That's it! I made a small edit to the answer to include the complete equation. Once the edit is approved I'll accept this as the correct answer. Thank you for your help!

Apr 25, 2022 at 13:44 comment added Jacopo Tissino Right! I hadn't properly parsed that part of the question. Addressed it now.

Added mass as a function of time
Apr 25, 2022 at 12:53 comment added Lawton I'm still not sure how this helps, so I may be missing something obvious. You've shown how to arrive at the equation for the total time for evaporation as a function of mass, which is the first equation I give in my question, when starting from the equation for the power output as a function of mass, which is the second equation I give in my question. How do I go from these two known equations to an equation for mass as a function of time?
Apr 25, 2022 at 9:58 comment added Jacopo Tissino @Lawton as for the first point, it's just a common notational convenience to group a bunch of constants into one to avoid having to write them out several times.

Added working out of separable ODE
Apr 25, 2022 at 9:51 comment added Jacopo Tissino @Lawton as for the second point, yes you do need a function of $t$, but a constant function is indeed a (very simple) function of $t$ or of any other variable you like! I'll include some more details.
Apr 24, 2022 at 22:42 comment added Lawton I've looked into separable ordinary differential equations, and it seems like I would need to have a function in terms of $t$ in order for this to count. Is that correct? Both equations I have are in terms of $M$, which doesn't seem to fit the criteria.
Apr 24, 2022 at 22:19 comment added Lawton What do you mean by "a constant $k$ which encapsulates all the ones you have written"?
