Think of a pot of boiling water. The burner makes the heat, the heat rises, and the cold water replaces it, then the cold water gets hotter and rises. It's a cycle
If the beaker has a cold water, or something else cold, in it than the heat that is in our finger will run out of you finger into the cold water. This leaves your finger 'empty' of heat, giving you the sensation of being cold. You need to remember that only heat moves. When you are cold you wear a jumper that keeps the heat in your body, not keep the cool out.

Assuming that 'cold' means normal room temperature, then heat would flow from your finger to the water.
sand get quickly heat and got cold where as water is not it takes time to heat and cold that's why people living in coastal areas feel cold during day time .
That is called condensation. When you start the engine the exhaust system/pipes are cold. When the heat from the engine exhaust passes through the exhaust it makes it sweat. That is normal.
It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler. The hot pipe when splashed by cold water cause the metal to expand and contract so quickly the weld cracked off and the heat shield now rattles It is a heat shield on your exhaust pipe or muffler.

That is condensation due to the exhaust system being cold and the heat from the engine makes the exhaust system / pipes sweat. As the exhaust system heats up then that will stop. Now you said WATER not antifreeze. If you had engine coolant running out of the exhaust then it would be the color of the antifreeze and it would be steaming WHITE and then you would have an engine problem, MAYJOR. You said water. Drive it you have no problems. That is normal.
If its water and not antifreeze, Then that is called condensation, Its winter time and the exhaust system is cold and when heat flows through it, it starts to sweat.
Hot Water extinguishes more effectively than cold water as it has a higher specific heat capacity than cold water.
Hot water merges with the cold water, and any heat is dissipated.
When gasoline is burned in an engine, it turns into heat, water, and a couple of different carbon compounds. The water, being hot, is in the form of a gas. When it hits the cold exhaust pipe, it condenses back to liquid water.
This type of heat transfer is called conduction. The transfer is from the warm hand to cool water.
Is it water or antifreeze ??? It is probley condensation. If it is cold outside were your at then this is what happens. The exhaust system is cold and when you start the engine the exhaust heat flowing through the cold exhaust pipes makes the exhaust sweat. And it looks like water is running out. Engine is running lean. Needs richen up. If it is antifreeze it will be smoking real white out of the exhaust. And that would mean a head gasket is leaking coolant into the piston cylinder. That is the most common problem with a antifreeze leak causing white smoke. I have seen intake manifolds leak coolant into the cylinder head ( runner ) but it is rare that happens. I don't think you have a problem.
