Title: Can you concentrate temperature in water?
Post by: Crispin Hoad on 23/02/2010 10:30:02

Crispin Hoad  asked the Naked Scientists:
   
Hi guys,

If I have lots of water at 60C, is it possible to boil a separate small amount of water using the energy from the warm water? 

Hope that makes sense!

Thanks,
Crispin

What do you think?
