Modern Day Problem

[BullGear]

I'm sitting here, minding my own business. I'm just reading some of the threads and drink a coke in a cup with ice. Then my brain decides to do something it rarely does, it starts to think. It notices my eye looking into the cup and seeing something that makes it go Hmmmm.

It now is asking a question, WHY DOES ICE MELT AT DIFFERENT RATES WHEN IT'S IN THE SAME CUP?

I noticed that ice melts at much different rates when it's in the same cup of coke. Some are almost complete melted, while others have barely melted at all.

To other brains out there, why is this? Scientist and engineers are welcome to explain too. But I suspect I'll get the Bubba's mind explaining it the most.

All are welcome.

Why are you drinking a coke at your age thought that was bad for boomers?

 

[BullGear]

It's kinda like why does a lung cancer patient still smoke?

Great.
Now you’ve done it.
I just looked into the glass I’m drinking out of and saw the same thing!
I WAS having productive thoughts before reading your post...

Thermodynamics be all, "Fuck your expectations, bro!" The liquid at the top of the cup is warmer than the liquid at the bottom of it. Diffusion of the colder water that used to be ice into the warmer water that never was ice adds an element of chaos, as does the ice being in little chunks where the distances between pieces of ice are highly inconsistent. If you'd like to watch the process to see what's going on, get some red food coloring and use it to make some red ice cubes, then drop those into a clear glass and fill with very cold water. A large container is best for this. As the ice melts you'll see the red fold and spin and dissolve rapidly turning the water pink and then red. At first the red will concentrate down at the bottom but eventually the whole water column will turn red.

Why is the ice tea in the bottom of the cup warmer than the ice tea at the top when using a straw (think MD's tea). Cold is supposed to sink right????

 

[JoshPutman]

It works on the F.M. Principal.


You know, fuckin' magic!

Are you holding the cup or is it sitting on something?

Russians.
Russians did it.

 

[Sean the Nailer]

then there's the whole 'carbonation' coming out of suspension which is also having a miniscule 'thermal effect' that that is a whole 'nuther tangent for a whole 'nuther discussion.

You ever see those girls hold a pint glass in their butt cheeks? Like that.

Beat me to it. Same reason the air is warmer at the top of the room.

We may need to award Bully an honorary degree in philosophy,

I’m going to do this the next time I eat some mushrooms

Turn on the hot water in your sink. Hold your hand under the water and wait for it to get warm. It gets much cooler just before the hot water hits your hand. Why?
I don't really know or particularly care why, just thought I'd give y'all something else to contemplate.

I was bored and couldn’t help myself.
