    Hey, thermodynamics peeps! When you put ice in a drink, does the coolness transfer faster than the ice melts, or is it pretty much just the flow of "no longer frozen cold" water into the beverage that cools it? ...wow, that actually sounds really dumb now that I typed it out.

      @scribus i'm not sure if i get it, but if i understood it right, once 2 bodies at differnte temperatures are in contact, the heat fows from the one at a higher temperature to the one with the lower, in this case the ice. The ice melting is a consequece of the free gibs energy of the water is lower for the liquid phase above 0 °C, so it slowly starts melting untill the bodies are at the same temperature
