The Mpemba effect is about the phenomena of hot water freezing faster than cold water. Does anyone know how to pronounce Mpemba?
The Mpemba Effect is a phenomenon where hot water freezes faster than cold water under certain conditions.
The Mpemba Effect is named after Tanzanian student Erasto Mpemba, who first observed the effect in 1963.
The exact cause of the Mpemba Effect is still debated, but it is believed to be a combination of several factors, including evaporation, convection, and dissolved gases.
The Mpemba Effect is most likely to occur when the hot water is initially at a higher temperature than the cold water, both are placed in an environment with a low air pressure or high humidity, and the containers are made of a good conductor of heat.
The Mpemba Effect has been studied for its potential applications in various industries, such as cryopreservation, food technology, and energy conservation. It also has implications for meteorology and climate science.
