What causes water to be warm?
The amount of vibration of the individual molecules (H2O) in the water determines its temperature.
Why do my hot water pipes vibrate and make a loud noise when turned on?
The vibration and loud noise in your hot water pipes when turned on is likely caused by water hammer. This occurs when the flow of water is suddenly stopped or redirected, causing a shockwave that reverberates through the pipes. Installing water hammer arrestors or adjusting water pressure can help reduce or eliminate this issue.
Why does water sputter when first turned on?
Water sputters when first turned on because air trapped in the pipes is being pushed out by the flowing water. This causes the water to come out in bursts or spurts until the air is fully expelled from the system.
What causes the water pipes to hum when turned off?
choir members in your pipes
How does microwavable popcorn relate to gas laws?
An increase in the temperature of gas causes an increase in volume. At the center of a popcorn kernel there is a small pocket filled with water. When the microwave is turned on it releases microwaves which rapidly vibrate the water molecules in the center of the kernel. This rapid vibration causes the water in the center of the kernal to heat up and thus expand. When the pressure is too great to be containd the kernal explodeds and "pops".
Why do pipes rattle when the water is turned off?
Pipes rattle when water is turned off due to a phenomenon called water hammer. This happens when the sudden stop of water flow creates a pressure surge that causes the pipes to vibrate and make noise.
What would cause an extremely loud vibration in your house when running hot water in a sink if you just replaced the old worn-out seals with new ones you had to make yourself?
If water gets under a faucet washer it can cause a loud vibration when the water is turned on. You either need to find a proper replacment or get a new faucet.
What is causing hot water pipe vibration in the single handle shower in some positions?
It's called water-hammer. I vibration from the water pressure. A snub-end pipe can be added to devert the vibration.
What causes household plumbing to whistle when the water is turned on?
Lose washer / excessive velocity (FPS)
When you boil water what do the particles do?
The particles gain energy (kinetic energy) and begin to vibrate. This vibration causes heat. As the particle vibrates, it will collide with other particles in water and pass this energy on to neighbouring particles which causes the heat conduction.
Are waves created by vibration?
Waves that travel through a medium are caused by vibration eg sound waves are caused by vibrating drum/ vocal cords etc and this causes the air particles to vibrate; a vibration in a still pond will cause waves of water. However, light, radio waves are radiation. Electromagnetic waves are radiated eg light from the Sun is radiated to Earth through the vacuum of space.
How does water as waves travel through it?
vibration
