  2. Mpemba effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

    In all cases the water supercooled, reaching a temperature of typically −6 to −18 °C (21 to 0 °F; 267 to 255 K) before spontaneously freezing. Considerable random variation was observed in the time required for spontaneous freezing to start and in some cases this resulted in the water which started off hotter (partially) freezing first.

    the heat of a bath in which solid wax melts and is conserved in liquid state without boiling 28: 2 + 1 ⁄ 4: intermediate point between the boiling point of water and the melting point of wax 34: the heat at which water boils vehemently (the temperature at which water begins to boil is given as an additional value in the description, as 33) 40

  4. Scale of temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scale_of_temperature

    The degree Celsius (°C) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval (a difference between two temperatures). From 1744 until 1954, 0 °C was defined as the freezing point of water and 100 °C was defined as the boiling point of water, both at a pressure of one standard atmosphere .

  7. Freezing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freezing

    Freezing is a phase transition in which a liquid turns into a solid when its temperature is lowered below its freezing point. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] For most substances, the melting and freezing points are the same temperature; however, certain substances possess differing solid-liquid transition temperatures.

  9. Rømer scale - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rømer_scale

    The Rømer scale (Danish pronunciation: [ˈʁœˀmɐ]; notated as °Rø), also known as Romer or Roemer, is a temperature scale named after the Danish astronomer Ole Christensen Rømer, who developed it for his own use in around 1702. It is based on the freezing point of pure water being 7.5 degrees and the boiling point of water as 60 degrees ...
