Hi,
I'm a high school student who is doing a physics research project on the Mpemba Effect and various circumstances that may permit it to occur. My current concern is with the apparatus that I will have to use in the experimental part of the project. In view of that, I would like you to give me any insight and advice that you may have on how to go about this.
As for the premise of the experiment, I have so far considered using a temperature sensor to mark the data of various water samples (Various with respect to their density, temperature or solute within them). Along with that, I would be using a standard refrigerator so as to slowly cool down the samples.
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a suitable sensor as most of them lack the waterproof quality. I would once again appreciate your input here, especially if you happen to know certain brands/models that I should check out.
Thank you in advance.
P.S: Also, considering the wires that would go through the refirigirator - I think I will need to isolate them in order to minimize the error, however, I'm really unsure what is the best way to do so.
