Yes. Other things being equal, the cooling rate should be more or less proportional to the surface area.

How does surface area affect the rate of cooling of soup?

Increased surface area increases cooling. Cooling occurs by convection of air above the soup and water vapour loss.


How does the size of a container affect the rate at which water evaporates?

the bigger the surface area the faster the water will evaporate


How do you make an efficent cooler cooling hot water?

Considering this question by the perspective of Physics,I think that conduction ,convection and radiation can help solving your problem. Firstly,cars cooling system is actually similar to making an efficent cooler,you can add a fan and a pump,where the function of a fan is obviously cooling down the heated water.While the pump can help lowering the boiling point of water Secondly,you can increase the surface area of the container containing hot water,by using a large container or a container with uneven surface Thirdly,atomization can also help increasing surface area.Like if you put it in a sprayer and spray it,it can have more contact with the air,but it is a really diffcult model to make Lastly ,if you wrap the container with hot water in black ,it will be a good radiatior.


Does hot water cool down faster in a container with a larger mouth area?

I presume you mean surface area. Other things being equal, a larger exposed surface will result in faster cooling. However, the overall shape, size and material of the container will also have an effect.

How does convection effect boiling water?

Water convection is the movement of water in a circular motion due to cooling and heating. The water near the bottom of the container is heated and moves up the container, while water at the top of the container is cooled and moves down the container. Convection causes movement of the water.

YesYes


How long does it take for a 1 pint of water to evaporate?

4 main factors affect evaporation surface area of the container,temperature of liquid, wind speed above the water and humidity of air above the water.


How does the shape of the container affect the freezing rate of water?

The amount of water in a container will affect how fast it heats up. If there is a small amount of water in a container the water will biol/heat faster. However, if there is a big amount of water it will take longer for the heat to reach all parts of the water resulting in a longer time for the water to boil/heat
