Correct AnswerYes. Wind chill is a measure of the rate of heat loss. The ground, ponds, lakes, and your car will cool at a faster rate if there is wind. An example: The air temperature is 10 degrees Fahrenheit, with a breeze. If the wind chill is five below zero, heat is being removed from water as if it were five below without wind - however the water will only cool to 10 degrees, the actual air temperature - but it will cool at a faster rate than it would in calm air. The "old" wind chill chart used by weather forecasters prior to 2001 was calculated using water as the control. The "new" one is an attempt to equate the wind-feel as it relates to human skin...use the old chart to calculate the real "heat-loss-factor" as this is more scientifically sound. How wind affects skin-feel depends upon each individual, their metabolism, tolerance, exertion level... so use the original chart, the new one is junk.No! The freezing point of pure water is, as you know, 32°F. If the air temperature is not at or below freezing there is no way that any matter in contact with the air can fall below freezing. This is the first law of thermodynamics, and applies to all objects, liquid, solid or even a gas that is contained in a way so as not to mix with the air. Water placed outside at 38° degrees cannot get colder than 38° no matter what the wind is doing. In fact, even if the wind is howling and the water is already frozen as ice when you put it outside, if the temperature is 38° degrees the ice will melt and warm to 38° in time. Try this as an experiment.

There is lower preasure over water, which means that the higher pressure from the land rushes in to fill the space of low preassure, and seeing as the sea is completely flat there is nothing the shelter the wind so the wind can keep on blowing

No, it makes it feel colder.

Answer:

Wind chill is a measure of the cooling effect of wind not the temperature of the air. Wind increases the rate at which a body loses heat by keeping the air close to the warm object cooler. In quiet conditions warm air tends to stick closer to the warm object and insulates it. So the air on a windy day feels cooler than the temperature indicated by a thermometer by increasing the rate of heat loss to that of air at the windchill temperature.

The equation for this heat loss can be calculated with various combinations of wind speed and air temperature and then converted to a wind chill equivalent temperature (or wind chill factor).The equation is:

Wind Chill (Fo)= 35.74 + 0.6215T - 35.75(V0.16) + 0.4275T(V0.16)

Where:

T = Measured Air Temperature (F)

V = Wind Speed (mph)

Yes it will cool the object quicker provided there is a temperature difference between the object and the wind.

This is because the molecules of gas (the wind) will have a longer residence time against the warm object - there will be longer for the heat to transfer by conduction to the gas.

Yes, if you think about it thermodynamically the wind would be a source of energy on the water and would provide some energy as the air molecules bumped into water molecules, slowly freezing process down (an example of this would be a flowing River in the middle of winter).

a other affect the wind would have would be removing the insulating air at the surface of the water. This is the reason why wind chill is so devastating to exposed skin, and why it is necessary cover your body with wind resistant insulating materials to stay warm.

As the water freezes at the surface and forms a layer of ice both of these affects of wind chill would have little consequence the speed of water freezing below the surface. The freezing or the rest of the water would be controlled by amount of insulating ice above the water. ( water/ice has a very high specific heat capacity and is an excellent insulator) This the reason why lakes do not freeze in the winter time and why people can do things ice fishing.

In summary it would have some effect but I believe this would be minimal!

No, salt makes ice melt due to ionic reactions whereas wind makes ice "melt" due to erosion. Ice is not melted by wind it is worn away.

Wind chill is known as apparent temperature. It factors air temperature and wind speed in determining what temperature the air would feel like to a human.

Does amount of water affect how fast it freezes?

Yes, the amount of water can affect how fast it freezes. A larger volume of water will take longer to freeze compared to a smaller volume because there is more heat energy that needs to be removed to lower the temperature of the water to the freezing point.

Does adding nothing to water effect how fast water freezes?

Adding nothing to the water should not affect the rate at which the water freezes. Adding substances, though, can noticeably depress the freezing point so that it will take longer to freeze than pure water under the same conditions. Salt is commonly used for this purpose. Adding nothing to water isn't expected to do anything to the rate at which it freezes.

What freezes quicker water or rubbing alcohol?

Water. Although it's not really that it freezes faster but rather that it freezes at a higher temperature. How fast something freezes has to do with both its freezing point but also how much of it you have. A drop of alcohol will freeze faster than a giant container of water (assuming the temperature of the freezer is below the freezing point of alcohol).


Does temperature affect how fast water evaporates?

Yes.


How bubbles affect how fast does water freezes?

Bubbles in water can act as nuclei for ice crystals to form, which can speed up the freezing process by providing a surface for ice to start forming. The presence of bubbles can also affect the thermal properties of water, potentially influencing the rate at which heat is transferred and therefore impacting the freezing time.
