I have a one liter bottle of water. The bottle (Aquafina brand) is approximately 3" in diameter. I froze it. (No, it doesnt break the bottle, because I broke the seal before I froze it.)

1. How long will it take to thaw all the ice in the bottle, assuming it is kept at a room temperature of approximately 70 degrees Fahrenheit?

2. How long will it take if, periodically, I drink any water that has thawed?

3. Which takes longer, 1 or 2?

4. How long does it take to solve this problem?

I don't know, but frozen water is hard enough to use as a weapon against people but not hard enough to break a skull, thus useless against zombies.

By the way, the wholly uncontrolled experiment I did with the bottle in my living room yesterday for #2 was eight hours, thirty-two minutes.

I must say I'm disappointed in all you geeky types. You're supposed to be interested in wasting your time on these sorts of puzzles.

I'm interested, but too stupid to know how to set up the problem. But I thought for sure some of you had done classes that required you to know something about the properties of fluids.

I think you would need to do the problem a little differently.

How long did it take to thaw 16oz of water. Now I have some way to start a algebra equation.

If I knew it took 8 hours to thaw 16oz, I could then find out how long it would take to thaw any amount of water.

Is there a formula for the rate at which water melts?

This much I do kow....

The correct answer for #3 is 1. B/c the ice would melt faster in the container with the melted water beacuse the molecules in liquid water are more tightly packed than the molecules in air, allowing more contact with the ice and a greater rate of heat transfer. Also, water has a higher heat capacity than air.

+1 to dhpackr just for the answer to #3. This is what I was hoping for. :)

but is it the volume of water, or the surface area that determines the rate of melt/

I'll say volume of water in the bottle. The ice is really going to melt at two different rates in the bottle containing ice, water and air. The molecues are going to act differently in water (where the molecues are greater in number) than air (which has less molecues moving than water).

So the amount of ice in the bottle that is under water is going to make that ice melt faster than the ice above water.

now if it were a block of ice sitting in a bucket outside, then one could argue the amount of wind would have to be added to the equation.

But just a bottle filled with ice, air is not a factor IMO.

Zero2Cool (22-Sep) : Malik to start. Love inactive. Per report. Let's go!!

buckeyepackfan (22-Sep) : I think J-10VE will be inactive, a little twist that could be put in is run a wildcat with Wicks at qb. Have him as emergency qb if needed.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : I think that's how it works.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : I'd go 3 QB regardless this game.

Zero2Cool (21-Sep) : Clifford was elevated, not activated. He doesn't play, it doesn't count.

hardrocker950 (21-Sep) : If Clifford is active, not likely to see Jordan play this weekend

Zero2Cool (19-Sep) : WR Jayden Reed (calf) and G Elgton Jenkins (illness/glute) returned after sitting out Wednesday.

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Practicing is Jordan Love!

Zero2Cool (18-Sep) : Packers are signing WR Cornelius Johnson to the Practice Squad per sources. Johnson was a 7th round pick this year.

Zero2Cool (16-Sep) : Rams won’t have Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua when they host the Packers in Week 5.

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : Or is that the Rusty Red Rifle because of his age?

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : bears still have slim chance here

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : and there's another one!

Mucky Tundra (16-Sep) : oh crap macbob has the Texans K and he keeps hitting these long FGs

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Hope the Texans beat the brakes off the Bears

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : LaFleur: “I asked Malik why he didn’t throw it on that third down and he told me Josh threw up on the ball.”

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : i was wondering why it was just you, me, beast and macbob by the end

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Yeah it was weird today for some reason

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Oh my, marvin harrison jr might be as good as he was billed out to be

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : weird, i was on my phone for chat during the game but now on my desktop I look at chat and there's tons of chats i didn't see on my phone

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Oh yeah, for sure. That's just not fair thoguh.

Mucky Tundra (15-Sep) : Zero, what I meant was that surely a tech and IT genius such as yourself would find a way to change the pick

Zero2Cool (15-Sep) : Well, I mean, I know I did, but might not have waited for it to register and went into Chat. Oh well
