Reply to Is there a formula to know the temperature of fluids after mixing ? by malahchi

So its been a while since I have been in college. but if water is at 255 kelvin it is probably ice.

370 kelvin is pretty close to boiling for water.

So my first question is do we need to consider a state transition and the energy required for that. if not then its a matter of ratios (as they are both water). and being honest I would just use excel to figure it out. but it would be something like

(x)(255)+(1-x)(370) = 313

comes out to x = 0.49565217

in terms of engineering - use equal portions and you should have it!!

but once again. if the 255 kelvin water is ice, then you need to calculate the energy of state transition.

good luck!

This is why I love language. it's not owned by one person. its not controlled (even though so many try). its always changing always growing.

my favorite right now is how the word literal is changing to mean the exact opposite. So many people are losing their minds over the idea that people use the word "literal" to give emphasis to something figurative.

but it has happened before. if something was kinda cool, it had 'some awe' i.e. it was "awesome". but if it was full of awe it was "awefull" I dont know the progression of that word but somebody probably starting using it sarcastically ... "oh that is awe-full" and eventually it changed from being full of awe to being horrible.

Language is chaotic neutral.
