Question for OT liquid experts
Posted on 10/12/16 at 10:41 am

I left a 16oz bottle of water in the freezer section of a Mini fridge for a couple months. Obviously when I took it out it was frozen solid.
I then put it in the bottom section next to the other bottles of water. Two weeks later and the bottle is still frozen solid with no signs of liquid, while the other bottles next to it are completely liquid with no signs of ice.
Doesnt that seem like a long time for no apparent defrosting to be taking place?

Since it is a small area, could it be actually cooling down the lower area to a point where microcosmic melting is occurring but not yet noticeable?

In the artic ocean there are icebergs in water.
Crazy huh?

Did you put it back in the freezer in the bottom section?
May explain why it's still frozen.

it's called reverse entrophication.

Theres a thermodynamics problem here but I just don't feel like thinking right now

Most definitely.

No, it is lying horizontally inbetween two other liquid bottles.

Who says liquid bottles ?

It is a useful term to differentiate it from the frozen bottle.

It could be that the temperature in the refrigerator section is so close to the freezing point that bottle is only warming very slowly (think Newton's Law of Cooling). Also, ice has pretty high heat capacity (about half that of water), so it could take a while for it to even reach the melting point.
