Do hot water pipes freeze faster than cold water pipes?
Why is the second paragraph a contradiction of the first? If hot water pipes 'Absolutely' do not freeze faster than cold water pipes then why the comment about the cold water pipes having a larger diameter which causes them to freeze at a slower rate than the smaller hot water pipes? Also, the word then in the last line should be thanand there should be an a between usually and larger. And, piping should be changed to pipe.
Cold water pipe exposed in basement sweating water drips?
It's colder in the basement than the water coming in the pipes. Seal up the vents and drafts in the basement. Wrap the pipes
Does less water freeze faster than more water?
No. The important factor is the surface area of the water that is exposed to cold conditions. A large, thin pan of water will freeze just as quickly as a smaller, thin pan of water if the ratio of surface area to volume is the same. The reason a large bottle of water freezes more slowly than a smaller one is that less of the water is exposed to the outside of the container, where its heat is lost. And, as the ice forms inside the container, it further reduces the rapidity of heat loss to the air around the container.
Use the Particle Theory to explain why droplets of water form on the cold water pipes in the basement on humid summer days.?
well i cant use particle theory because im not farmilliar with it but basically the temperature underground is lower than the ambient air temperature (water runs underground) whitch attracts the water molecules to the pipe if the dewpoint is low enough.
Why do water pipes sometimes burst during the winter?
The water inside uninsulated pipes may freeze and expand during a cold winter, pushing opening joints or splitting the pipes, often unnoticed. When the thaw comes, the ice in the pipes melt, and the water pressure returns, and the water is able to spray out through the damaged pipes.
At what temperature do pipes crack?
Water pipes should not of themselves crack at any temperature, however if pipes have water in them the water will freeze at temperatures below 0oC. If this happens then as the water freezes it will expand (ice is less dense than water) and as it expands it will either stretch metal pipes until they burst or crack ceramic pipes. For this reason external water pipes are buried at a depth to which the frost will not penetrate and internal water pipes are lagged to keep them warm.
Do octopus live in warm warter or coled warter?
Well octopus's live in both cold and warm water, but they only live in Salt water. Octopus's that live in warm water are usually smaller than the ones who live in cold water.
What does it mean if your hot water pressure is less than the cold water pressure?
If your hot water pressure is lower than the cold water pressure, it could indicate a problem with the hot water heater, such as sediment buildup in the tank or a faulty pressure relief valve. It may also be due to a blockage or leak in the hot water pipes. It is recommended to have a plumber inspect and address the issue to ensure proper functioning of your hot water system.
Warm and cold water?
Warm water is little bit hotter than cold water. The temperature of warm water is higher than that of cold water
Can the volume of ice smaller than the water's?
No, the volume of ice cannot be smaller than the water.
Why do copper pipes carry hot water corrode faster than pipes that carry cold water?
Copper pipes carrying hot water can corrode faster due to the higher temperature accelerating the chemical reactions involved in corrosion. The heat can increase the rate of oxidation and other reactions that lead to the breakdown of the copper material. Additionally, the hot water can also increase the solubility of minerals in the water, which can further contribute to corrosion.
Does cold water heat faster than hot water?
No, hot water heats up faster than cold water.
