A woman informs her engineer husband that “hot water will freeze faster than cold water.” He calls this statement nonsense. She answers by saying that she has actually timed the freezing process for ice trays in the home refrigerator and found that hot water does indeed freeze faster.

2.2 A small dam, which is idealized by a large slab 1.2 m thick, is to be completely poured in a short Period of time. The hydration of the concrete results in the equivalent of a distributed source of constant strength of 100 W/m3. If both dam surfaces are at 16°C, determine the maximum temperature to which the concrete will be subjected, assuming steady-state conditions. The thermal conductivity of the wet concrete can be taken as 0.84 W/m K.
Calculate delta S when 1 mole of supercooled water at –10oC and 100 kPa is converted into ice at -10oC and 100 kPa. The molar heat capacity at constant pressure (Cm,P) of ice is 37.7 J K-1 mol- 1, and that of supercooled water is 76.1 J K-1 mol-1. The enthalpy of freezing of water is -6004 J mol-1. final answer: -20.54 J K-1
To ensure a tight fit, the aluminum rivet used in airplane construction are made slightly larger than the rivet holes and cooled by dry ice (solid CO2) before being driven. If the diameter of a hole is 0.500 cm, what should be the diameter of a rive at 20 degree Celsius if its diameter is equal that of a hole when the rivet is cooled to -78 degree Celsius, the temperature of dry ice? Assume the coefficient of expansion to remain constant. (Given and solutions)
To cool a piece of glass, initially at a temperature of 93°C, it is immersed in an aluminum tray, initially filled (to the brim) with water at 12°C.

Example 9: A 2-kW resistance heater wire whose thermal conductivity is k = 15 W/m ·°C has a diameter of D = 4 mm and a length of L = 0.5 m, and is used to boil water. If the outer surface temperature of the resistance wire is Ts = 105°C, determine the temperature at the center of the wire.
When we take a shower with hot water, once we stop receiving water we experience a greater sensation of cold than if we had showered with cold water. Investigate and make an argument based on the concepts studied in physics (especially temperature and heat) and support your arguments with a development of equations or mathematical relationships that demonstrate your answer.
