Posts: 2024 | Just hit 0 degrees (no wind chill) here in Champaign, IL. Long, cold walk to Assembly Hall, but well worth the numb face after watching the Illini hand it to Minnesota!!!!  | ||

Posts: 3508 Location: Elk River, Minnesota | zero degrees?!!... BALMY. -10 degrees... NIPPY -15 with wind... A LITTLE RAW -20 wind or not CHILLY Below that it's all the same...Just cold. Down right cold. Just think what it would have been like with more snow on the ground... I know northern MN would have been much lower if there was snow. Gotta wonder how many water mains are cracking with very little insulation on the ground.. Steve | ||

It didn't work, though, for that guy's experiments. From your link. "Hot water freezes faster than cold water. Most experts say that, all things being equal, cold water freezes faster. However, things are not always equal. A curious phenomenon known as the Mpemba effect can, under some very specific (and poorly understood) circumstances, result in hot water freezing faster than cold water. One of the several possible explanations for this effect involves evaporation: if you start with extremely hot water, a good bit of it will evaporate (and a smaller quantity of water will freeze faster than a larger quantity). And so, according to chemists, this one is not a myth, and this is presumably what my high school chemistry assignment was getting at." The experiment: "Freezing Water: I started with three identical glass containers, each holding 100ml (about 3.5 fl. oz.) of filtered water: one at room temperature (72°F/22°C), one at the same temperature as my hot water tap (115°F/46°C), and one boiling (212°F/100°C). I put all these into my freezer, which has an air temperature of 0°F (–18°C). Since I knew that the water would not turn from liquid to ice all at once, my arbitrary standard for frozenness was the time at which a wooden chopstick dropped into the center of the container would no longer touch the bottom. I checked each of the containers every 5 minutes. The results? The room-temperature water froze in 50 minutes. The hot water froze in 80 minutes. And the boiling water froze in 95 minutes. My verdict: no contest—not even remotely close. Given the conditions in my freezer and the water I used, I could not reproduce the Mpemba effect. I also tried a container of previously boiled water, now at room temperature. It froze in 60 minutes—more time (not less) than the unboiled water had taken, but not by much." Seems like the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Much like global warming. Kevin It's the cows. | ||

| Hopeful, which one froze SOLID first? Today would be a good day to experiment in the driveway. Edited by bobski 2/4/2007 4:11 PM | |||
