  2. Glass transition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_transition

    In this scenario, the transition temperature is known as the calorimetric ideal glass transition temperature T 0c. In this view, the glass transition is not merely a kinetic effect, i.e. merely the result of fast cooling of a melt, but there is an underlying thermodynamic basis for glass formation. The glass transition temperature:

  3. Mpemba effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpemba_effect

    The phenomenon, when taken to mean "hot water freezes faster than cold", is difficult to reproduce or confirm because it is ill-defined. [4] Monwhea Jeng proposed a more precise wording: "There exists a set of initial parameters, and a pair of temperatures, such that given two bodies of water identical in these parameters, and differing only in initial uniform temperatures, the hot one will ...

  4. Liquidus and solidus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquidus_and_solidus

    Liquidus temperature curve in the binary glass system SiO 2-Li 2 O. For impure substances, e.g. alloys, honey, soft drink, ice cream, etc. the melting point broadens into a melting interval. If the temperature is within the melting interval, one may see "slurries" at equilibrium, i.e. the slurry will neither fully solidify nor melt.

  5. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

    Values of the Biot number smaller than 0.1 imply that the heat conduction inside the body is much faster than the heat convection away from its surface, and temperature gradients are negligible inside of it. This can indicate the applicability (or inapplicability) of certain methods of solving transient heat transfer problems.

    Its melt would also occur over a longer timescale than the loss of any other ice on the planet, taking no less than 10,000 years to finish. However, the subglacial basin portions of the East Antarctic ice sheet may be vulnerable to tipping at lower levels of warming. [ 7 ]

    Externally, the upper limit of the human body’s thermoneutral zone—the ambient temperature range in which the body can effectively maintain its temperature and equilibrium—likely falls ...

  8. Fragility (glass physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fragility_(glass_physics)

    Fragility characterizes how rapidly the viscosity of a glass forming liquid approaches a very large value approximately 10 12 Pa s during cooling. At this viscosity, the liquid is "frozen" into a solid and the corresponding temperature is known as the glass transition temperature T g. Materials with a higher fragility have a more rapid increase ...

  9. Melting point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melting_point

    Ice cubes put in water will start to melt when they reach their melting point of 0 °C. The melting point (or, rarely, liquefaction point) of a substance is the temperature at which it changes state from solid to liquid. At the melting point the solid and liquid phase exist in equilibrium.
