Question on ice

Post by Texas Jim »

Does anyone know how to calculate the temperature effect of a pound of ice on a pound of water? I know it isn't a straight averaging, due to the change in phase.

If I drank my likker on the rocks I might comment that there’s usually rocks left in the glass by the time the likker is in my belly….

This reminds me of a riddle: two people order a whiskey drink, both drinks are poisoned, one dies the other doesn’t why?


Answer: the poison was in the ice cube and the person that drank slower the ice melted and he drank the poison.

Obviously the proper whiskey drinker lived as he sent the drink back and made them pour a new one neat, as any good whiskey should be consumed.

Well, at least have them pour another one properly but they're going to throw the rocks glass away so I prefer to at least give it an icubes chance in hell :)

A pound of ice takes 144 btus to melt.

A btu raises one pound of liquid water 1degree.
So, a pound of ice will cool a pound of water 144 degrees or 144 pounds of water 1 degree.

https://quick-advices.com/how-many-btus ... nd-of-ice/


Likewise it takes 970 btus to vaporize a pound of water.

Going from 80 degrees to 212 is 132 btus per pou d of water. . To boil and vaporize it is another 970 btus.
Now I know how you claim azeo so easy, it's based on a meat thermometer. :lol:
