Stainless Steal
not sure but i think styrofoam or thermocol
A metal bowl keeps ice cream frozen the longest.
Apparantely plastic keeps ice water colder because since aluminum water bottles absorbs the cold and the plastic doesnt so pretty much it keeps colder :)
Because there is lots of air pockets, and air is an excellent insulator so it keeps the cold inside the bottle.
Closed-cell foam insulation is known to be the best at keeping water cold the longest. It has a high thermal resistance, preventing heat transfer and maintaining the temperature of the water inside for an extended period of time.
A can can store coke longer, atleast according to me.
Ice..
This is due to condensation. The cold surface of the bottle condenses the water vapor in the air (humidity) into liquid water.
When water is cooled, it shrinks. If the water is in a sealed bottle, it shrinks the bottle, too, collapsing it to some degree.
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.
yes
It depends on the variables of temperature and humidity. Water evaporates from the wet cloth. Water needs energy (heat) to go from liquid to gas and the water gets that energy from it's immediate surroundings - in this case the cloth and the bottle - so the bottle cools. Only if the air is relatively cold and dry, of course. If it's raining, you won't get much cooling from evaporation. If the bottle is just placed in cold water it is not being cooled due to evaporation and only gets as cold as the water. If the water is flowing and cold, it may readily cool the bottle faster and colder than the wet cloth. If it's just a small bucket of water, it may not cool the bottle much.
