Does Hot Water Freeze Faster Mythbusters at Madeline Viera blog

Does Hot Water Freeze Faster Mythbusters. Does hot water freeze faster than cold water? This phenomenon is extremely counterintuitive, and surprising even to most. Now, new research published on august 5 in the journal nature not only shows that the mpemba effect does exist, but also sheds. Takamasa takahashi, a physicist at st. The lower temperature water will tend to freeze from the top, reducing further heat loss by radiation and air convection, while the warmer. Since the time of aristotle, researchers and amateur scientists alike have batted about the. It seems obvious that the answer should be no, because all things being equal, hot water takes longer to cool down than cold. Hot water can in fact freeze faster than cold water for a wide range of experimental conditions. A more mundane explanation is that hot water evaporates faster than cold, decreasing its volume and thus the time it takes to freeze. The rate of heating of a. For centuries, observant scientists from aristotle to descartes have harbored a suspicion that — contrary to all conventional wisdom — hot water can somehow freeze faster than cold water. Norbert college in de pere, wis., attempts a definitive answer: Cold water does not boil faster than hot water. But there was no scientific consensus that this conjecture was actually true. Cold water also could contain more dissolved gases, which lower its freezing point.
