Fire is hotter at the bottom, because this is where the combustion is taking place. Towards the top of the flame, heat is being dispersed into the surrounding air and it is further away from the site of combustion.

When water and decane are mixed which layer will float on top?

Water is denser than decane, so the water layer will sink to the bottom while the decane layer will float on top.


Does water boil faster at sea level than on the top of a mountain?

Water boils faster at sea level because there is higher atmospheric pressure, which increases the boiling point of water. At higher altitudes, such as on top of a mountain, the lower atmospheric pressure causes water to boil at a lower temperature, which means it takes longer to boil.


Does hot and cold water mix with food coloring when hot water rises to the top?

Yes, hot and cold water can mix with food coloring when hot water rises to the top if there is sufficient turbulence or agitation to mix the colors together. The movement and flow of water can help distribute the food coloring throughout the container, allowing for mixing between different temperature layers.


How do the positions of the hot and cold water affect the speed of convection?

Well, isn't that a happy little question! When the hot water is at the bottom and the cold water is at the top, it creates a lovely convection current where the hot water rises and the cold water sinks. This movement helps to distribute heat more evenly, making the convection process more efficient and gentle, just like a soft breeze on a sunny day.


Why Cold water is supplied to the bottom of hot water tank?

Cold water is supplied to the bottom of the hot water tank to prevent mixing of cold and hot water. This ensures that the hottest water is at the top of the tank where it can be drawn for use, while the cold water enters at the bottom to be heated by the heating element or burner. This also helps in creating a convection current within the tank for efficient heating.

Will water come out of the bottom hole of a water bottle faster or slower then a hole at the top?

Water will come out of the bottom hole faster than a hole at the top due to the force of gravity acting on the water. The bottom hole allows for a greater pressure difference, resulting in faster flow.


What direction does water flow in a radiator?

from the top to the bottom


How does the slope of an area affect its runoff?

It really depends on the slope. If it is a steep slope, the runoff will flow downhill faster and collect more at the bottom. If it is a pretty level slope, the runoff won't collect at the bottom of it. The water will just flood the top of the slope.


Does the north Atlantic deep water flow on top of Antarctic bottom water?

Yes, Atlantic deep water is warmer and less dense than the Antarctic bottom water, so it flows on top.


When doing the tornado in a bottle experiment does air flow from the bottom to the top?

Yes. Air moves into the top bottle to replace the volume of water that has flowed into the bottom.


Does the depth of a river affect the speed of the flow?

Yes because in shallow watewr the water and the bottom of the river rub and create friction in deep water the water the water is moving on top of another layer of water so less friction is created making it faster.


How does a small block Chevy water pump flow?

In through the bottom hose, out through the top.


What type of water will things float down faster in warm or cold?

Cold will sink to the bottom. Hot water will rise to the top.


Does the radiator on a 1999 mercury mountaineer come out from the top or bottom?

When the thermostat is open the coolant will flow through the top radiator hose in to the radiator and out to the water pump through the bottom radiator hose


How does an aircraft manage to fly in air?

The secret is Bernouilli's principle. This says that the faster air flows, the lower its pressure. So we build an aeroplane with wings that are curved on the top and flat on the bottom, ie with a d-shaped cross section. When the plane is pushed through the air by jets or propellers the air will flow across the top and bottom of the wings. BUT the air on top has further to go, because the top of the wing is convex , than the air at the bottom. So it will flow faster to keep up with the air at the bottom. That means, according to Bernouilli, that the air pressure will drop in the faster flowing air at the top of the wing. So the wing will be pushed up by the air at the bottom. Hopefully when the wings are pushed up, the body will go up as well. Or the wings will be ripped off.
