Usually the dishwasher is located near a sink. If you run the hot water at the sink, that will flush the cold water from the hot water line, so the dishwasher will end up getting more hot water during its fill, and allowing the water to reach higher temperatures. Use the "Heated Wash" option to ensure maximum temperature increase. Dishwasher detergent works best around 145 degrees, so the hotter the water going in, the better it will clean.

It will increase the surface tension of water hence temperature decreases. If you add phenol to water temperature increase as it decreases the surface tension.


Why does water evaporate from your cup?

When water molecules at the surface gain sufficient energy they can escape in the atmosphere. Evaporation (not vaporization) occur at any temperature; but a higher temperature increase the rate of evaporation. The energy of water molecules increase by a temperature increase.
