Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around the topic of cooling systems, specifically focusing on a project that involves using ice and a fan to cool a room. Participants explore historical cooling methods and their relevance to modern techniques, while also addressing the need for an introduction to the project report.
Discussion Character
- Homework-related
- Exploratory
- Technical explanation
Main Points Raised
- One participant requests an introduction for a project on cooling a room with ice and a fan.
- Another participant points out that a fan generates heat and questions the specifics of the project, such as the amount of ice and the size of the room.
- A participant provides a general explanation of how blowing warm air over ice cools the air, noting that the temperature will approach that of the ice.
- There is a suggestion that the introduction should include historical methods of cooling, such as icehouses and ice transport, to contextualize the project.
- A participant emphasizes the importance of the original poster attempting to write the introduction themselves before seeking feedback.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on how to approach the introduction for the project, with some focusing on technical details and others suggesting historical context. There is no consensus on the best way to structure the introduction.
Contextual Notes
Participants note the lack of specific information regarding the project, such as the size of the room and the amount of ice used, which may affect the cooling effectiveness.
Who May Find This Useful
This discussion may be useful for students working on similar projects involving cooling systems, as well as those interested in the historical context of cooling methods.

The fan (assuming it's electric) is a heater (if the fan is hand-wielded, then the wielder is a heater) -- if it's a 60-watt fan, it produces the same heat as a 60-watt lamp. Beyond that, you haven't said: how much ice, how big a room, starting temperature of the air in the room, etc..JohnAna said:I have project about cooling the room with ice and fan, I want introduction to type it in the report, any idea, thanks

Thanks!, i wrote the calculation and everything related to the project, but what i need is an introduction like general information about cooling system using fan and ice .

You didn't write the specific information in this thread. The general information is that blowing warm air over a block of ice tends to melt the ice while cooling the air to somewhere near the temperature of the ice. If you have a block of ice that's half the size of the room, and a big fan, the room and the melted ice (water) will soon be at a temperature not much higher than that of the inside of the block of ice, except the fan motor, which will be comparatively warm until it's turned off.

Why not talk about historical methods of cooling such as the traditional icehouse and transport of ice for iceboxes.
Your introduction should introduce your project saying perhaps what problem you encountered that caused you to develop this solution and then you segway into the introduction to your project in particular.
