  2. 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 ...

  3. 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:

  4. 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 ...

  5. Vitrification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitrification

    Vitrification (from Latin vitrum ' glass ', via French vitrifier) is the full or partial transformation of a substance into a glass, [1] that is to say, a non-crystalline or amorphous solid. Glasses differ from liquids structurally and glasses possess a higher degree of connectivity with the same Hausdorff dimensionality of bonds as crystals ...

  6. 'Doomsday' glacier could melt faster than previously thought

    One of the most closely watched glaciers in the world could soon melt faster than expected, a shift that could lead to sudden rises in sea levels. 'Doomsday' glacier could melt faster than ...

  7. Ice sheets can melt much faster than we thought - AOL

    Just like glaciers have carved the land, leaving behind features like valleys and boulder fields, geologists have suspected that ice shelves along the ocean could do the same to the seafloor.

  8. 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.

    The melting of Alaska's Juneau icefield, home to more than 1,000 glaciers, is accelerating. The snow covered area is now shrinking 4.6 times faster than it was in the 1980s, according to a new study.
