Heat rises.
Warmer water has a less dense structure than does cold water, so the cold water literally "pushes" its way down to the bottom of a liquid, forcing the warmer water up.
Because heat rises - the top of the water heater will always be hotter than the bottom.
When we place a water bottle with cold water on top of a water bottle with hot water the particles in the hot water bottle rise, pushing the cool particles to the bottom. This is a type of heat transfer called convection. Basically, the hot particles in the hot water bottle rise to the cold water bottle at the top and the cool particles in the cold water bottle at the top sink to the hot water bottle at the bottom. This is one of the three heat transfers. Convection occurs in gases and liquid.
Cold water is denser then hot water and weighs more so hot water will always stay on top of cold water no matter the pressure in the line or volume unless forced by flow hot water water will always be on top.
When a liquid is heated the part that is at the base heats up quickly and rise up due to it being less dense, this movement is called convection. The cold liquid is denser so it goes downwards. That why liquid is hot at the top.
Convection. The hot water at the bottom of the pot rises to the top.
It depends on the situation. If cold and hot water were mixed roughly together, they will simply mix with each other. However, when hot water is poured over cold water gradually, they will not mix and the hot water will remain on top of the cold water. This always happens when using a large container. In a small container, they will also mix immediately.
Convection
Yes
oil
The least dense liquid is typically found at the top layer when multiple liquids are combined, such as in a mixture of oil and water. Since oil is less dense than water, it will float on top, forming a distinct layer. This phenomenon can also be observed with other liquids of varying densities, where the least dense liquid will always rise to the surface.
As soon as the water level drops below the top edge of the plates. The plates should always be completely under the surface of the liquid in the cell.
Hot water is lighter then cold water so it would stay up on top of cold water till both waters naturalize to the same temp. a good example is a water heater and (if its not to old) open your drain at the bottom of the water heater and if your dip tube is still good you should always get cold water out of it even if the water heater is on and your water heater pressure is on.
