mpemba

This phenomenon was named the Mpemba effect after Erasto Mpemba, a Tanzanian high schooler who described the effect in the 1960s [1].

Standard phase transition diagrams do not describe the Mpemba effect, for example.

It's perhaps possible the Mpemba effect has an effect on the formation and quantity of this hydrate.

It seems like if that's where Mpemba first saw it, you should start there to attempt to reproduce it?

The Mpemba Effect wasn't scientifically proven, and can be explained away with error in measurement.

Interestingly freezing hot or boiled water can be quicker due to the Mpemba effect.

Phase transition diagrams are insufficient to describe water freezing or boiling given sensitivity to initial temperature observed in the Mpemba effect; phase transition diagrams are insufficient with an initial temperature axis.

Today's your lucky day, you get to learn about the Mpemba effect.

The LEP therefore signals the transition from strong to weak Mpemba effect.

My favorite poorly understood phenomenon in basic physics is the Mpemba effect, where hot water can freeze faster than cold water under certain circumstances.

The Mpemba Effect, was later proven under some conditions (1) 1.

It seems to me that determining whether the Mpemba effect in water actually occurs or not for certain ought to be a high priority for physics.

"While the actual occurrence of the Mpemba effect is disputed"

> We conclude, somewhat sadly, that there is no evidence to support meaningful observations of the Mpemba effect Why do people keep bringing this "effect" up?

I am wondering why, with all of the many experiments done to investigate this, none of them were done with ice cream: "Mpemba opted to skip waiting for his boiled-milk-and-sugar concoction to cool to room temperature like the other students had done.

We can't even concretely explain the process by which warm water sometimes freezes faster than cold water (Mpemba effect).

This phenomenon was first observed by Aristotle and named after Erasto Mpemba.

Now three research teams provide distinct perspectives on quantum versions of Mpemba-like effects, emphasizing the impact of strong interparticle correlations, minuscule quantum fluctuations, and initial conditions on these relaxation processes [3–5].
