Re: [RC] [RC] Frozen Tanks (Mpemba effect) - Sisu West Ranch
"...Also take into account that hot water has more
minerals dissolved in it ..."
Actually, things are a bit more complicated than
that. Some things like sucrose are more soluble in hot water, some things
like table salt are only slightly more soluble in hot water, some things like
dish detergent are more soluble in cold water. It all depends on Entropy,
heat of solution and the rest of the boring laws of thermodynamics.
As a scientist, it is very hard for me to believe
that anyone could come up with plausible explanation, in line with the 3 laws of
thermodynamics, that would allow for the effect being discussed
here. Even the proponents admit that the effect does not always
happen. I did note that some of the authorities quoted are the same one's
quoted in the dark ages in discussions of medicine and science.
