Unraveling Specific Conditions for a Repeatable Mpemba Effect
James D. Brownridge, Matthieu Zinet, Paul Sotta +1
Water exhibits many unique properties compared to other liquids, with some of these explained and others remaining enigmatic. Among them, it was proposed and extensively debated th…
Solar-induced thermal activity and stratification in pond water
James D. Brownridge
Ponds are universally used to store water for a large number of uses. With the increasing demand for more fresh water, ponds, lakes and reservoirs are likely to be constructed on a…
Trees as Filters of Radioactive Fallout from the Chernobyl Accident
James D. Brownridge, Noel K. Yeh
This paper is a copy of an unpublished study of the filtering effect of red maple trees (acer rubrum) on fission product fallout near Binghamton, NY, USA following the 1986 Chernob…
Transitioning water to an enhanced heat-conducting phase
James D. Brownridge
Water can be transitioned to an enhanced heat-conducting phase by supercooling only the water at the bottom of a container. The temperature gradient across the 4 cm in the center o…
A search for the Mpemba effect: When hot water freezes faster then cold water
James D. Brownridge
An explanation for why hot water will sometime freeze more rapidly than cold water is offered. Two specimens of water from the same source will often have different spontaneous fre…
Reduced heat flow in light water (H2O) due to heavy water (D2O)
William R. Gorman, James D. Brownridge
The flow of heat, from top to bottom, in a column of light water can be decreased by over 1000% with the addition of heavy water. A column of light water cools from 25 C to 0 C in…
