  2. Mpemba effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

    The Mpemba effect is the name given to the observation that a liquid (typically water) that is initially hot can freeze faster than the same liquid which begins cold, under otherwise similar conditions. There is disagreement about its theoretical basis and the parameters required to produce the effect.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erasto_B._Mpemba

    Erasto Bartholomeo Mpemba [1] (1950–2023) [note 1] was a Tanzanian game warden who, as a schoolboy, discovered the eponymously named Mpemba effect, a paradoxical phenomenon in which hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions; this effect had been observed previously by Aristotle, Francis Bacon, and René Descartes.

  4. Giovanni Marliani - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Marliani

    In the scientific community, there was a debate about how objects cooled and in 1461 Marliani confirmed that he had experimentally observed hot water freezing faster than cold water. In his experiment he stated that he had used four ounces of unheated water and four ounces of boiled water, which he placed in similar containers outside on a cold ...

  6. Freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing

    Most liquids freeze by crystallization, formation of crystalline solid from the uniform liquid. This is a first-order thermodynamic phase transition, which means that as long as solid and liquid coexist, the temperature of the whole system remains very nearly equal to the melting point due to the slow removal of heat when in contact with air, which is a poor heat conductor.

    Cold water does not boil faster. Water boils when it reaches its boiling point of 212 degrees Fahrenheit, 100 degrees Celsius or 373 degrees Kelvin.

    Their research shows hot drinks push body temperature up, which leads to sweat. As you may have learned in your middle school science classes, sweat is your body's natural way of cooling off.

  9. Flash freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flash_freezing

    During the final stage of freezing, an ice drop develops a pointy tip, which is not observed for most other liquids, and arises because water expands as it freezes. [10] Once the liquid is completely frozen, the sharp tip of the drop attracts water vapor in the air, much like a sharp metal lightning rod attracts electrical charges . [ 10 ]
