For a science experiment at school we are required to keep water cold, or hot rice warm in a can for 20 minutesI have wrapped my can in aluminum foil and then created a knitted stubby holder like thing, and covered the top, only leaving enough room to poke a thermometer through the holeSo my question is, should I choose to keep the water cool, or the rice warm? Please explain your answer ( I need to write why/ how my stubby holder will work) Thank you in advance! :)
First off put the foil on the outside since it will reflect the outside temp better, the air pockets from the knitted stubby thing will hold air, and the foil will stop the air from leaving the pocketsAir is the poorest conductor of heat aside from a vacuumYou are also much better off trying to keep rice warm than water coldWater transfers heat about 30x faster than air does and still more so than solidsIts much easier to keep the rice warmIts like how a potato can still be hot hours after its been heatedIf the thermometer is in the center of the rice the outer layers of rice will loose heat first while the inner layers retain it, while water would heat up at a more even pace through out
I know cellulase helps digest fiber I don't have any supplement suggestions though
