  2. Mpemba effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

    The phenomenon, when taken to mean "hot water freezes faster than cold", is difficult to reproduce or confirm because it is ill-defined. [4] Monwhea Jeng proposed a more precise wording: "There exists a set of initial parameters, and a pair of temperatures, such that given two bodies of water identical in these parameters, and differing only in initial uniform temperatures, the hot one will ...

  3. Caloric reflex test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caloric_reflex_test

    Hot and cold water produce currents in opposite directions and therefore a horizontal nystagmus in opposite directions. [4] In patients with an intact brainstem: If the water is warm (44 °C or above) endolymph in the ipsilateral horizontal canal rises, causing an increased rate of firing in the vestibular afferent nerve.

  4. Deep water source cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_water_source_cooling

    Deep water source cooling (DWSC) or deep water air cooling is a form of air cooling for process and comfort space cooling which uses a large body of naturally cold water as a heat sink. It uses water at 4 to 10 degrees Celsius drawn from deep areas within lakes, oceans, aquifers or rivers, which is pumped through the one side of a heat exchanger .

  5. Thermocline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermocline

    It gives the water an appearance of wrinkled glass, the kind often used in bathroom windows to obscure the view, and is caused by the altered refractive index of the cold or warm water column. These same schlieren can be observed when hot air rises off the tarmac at airports or desert roads and is the cause of mirages.

  6. Water heat recycling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heat_recycling

    Installation of a double-walled copper-on-copper heat exchanger in a vertical section of the master drain line in a Canadian home (2007) Water heat recycling (also known as drain water heat recovery, waste water heat recovery, greywater heat recovery, [citation needed] or sometimes shower water heat recovery [citation needed]) is the use of a heat exchanger to recover energy and reuse heat ...

    Widespread destruction from the L.A. fires was inevitable, given the drought and winds. Still, the region could have been better prepared.

    choices made in such “hot” visceral states are not always rational, as dictated by economic theory. For example, David M. Cutler and colleagues (2003) investigate whether or not the increase in caloric intake over time could be seen as simply a rational response to the lowered

  9. Cold-water geyser - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold-water_geyser

    Andernach Geyser, (Germany), the world's highest cold-water geyser Herľany, (Slovakia), first eruption in 1870. Cold-water geysers are geysers that have eruptions whose water spurts are propelled by CO 2-bubbles, instead of the hot steam which drives the more familiar hot-water geysers: The gush of a cold-water geyser is identical to the spurt from a freshly-opened bottle of soda pop.
