if the temp is 34 degrees and the wind chill factor is 15 degrees, will a glass of water freeze.?

Question

what would the wind chill factor be at 10 mph and 34 degrees. would it be cold enough to freeze a glass of water.

Answer 1

No, wind chill will never freeze the glass of water. The water will cool faster than it would without the wind, but it will never get colder than the air temperature.

Answer 2

Possibly, but rarely. Wind chill is about how cold it feels when the wind is blowing. That is, feels to a person. The reason we get cold when the wind blows is because our body warms the air directly next to our skin, and the wind carries that warm air away. Water doesn't care how cold you or I feel, it's going to freeze at 32 degrees.

Another reason wind makes us feel cold is because it makes water on the surface of our skin evaporate. This effect could possibly cause water near the freezing point to cool and begin to freeze, but wind will upset the surface of the water, and moving water freezes less readily. If any water were to freeze, it would only be the very surface, not the whole glass.

Answer 3

' No. Water freezes at 32 degrees F.. Not 33. Wind chill is just how cold it feels to the human body. As moisture evaporates from our skin a small amount of heat is released in the evaporation process. If there's no wind this thin layer of warm air stays close to the skin. As the wind starts to blow evaporation is enhanced but this thin layer of air is transported away from the skin. Also increased evaporation transfers more heat from inside the body to outside the body. This can fool our brain into thinking the temperature is colder than it really is. A glass of water doesn't know how cold it feels. It just freezes at 32 degrees.

Answer 4

No. There is a slight chance it could if the wind chill remained constant (the wind never ceased to stop blowing) for at least 10 hours. And even then it would depend on the volume of the glass; perhaps a shot glass.

Drinking glasses are a lot bigger than the space of in an ice cube tray.

Answer 5

No. Wind chill is completely subjective and cannot be measured. It is an estimate of how cold you might feel were you to stand in the wind with no clothes on. If the air temperature is above 0°C it is above 0°C no matter what the wind is doing and nothing will freeze.

Answer 6

Yes, the wind chill has nothing to do with it though .Pressure on the other hand does .Every thing around us is frozen Well ,Most everything .even in a hot room .Mind bender .

Answer 7

no
