Shell's explanation is correct. Rapid increase in pressure leads to increase in temperature. Torrent also mentions this in the first chapter of the second book when he's testing out his salad shooters.
I didn't write this chapter, but I'm pretty sure that when Torrent increases the pressure/speed of the water to force it out of a faucet that's turned off, the first initial blast of water will often come out scalding.
Thanks!
We shall surely have the next part up next week.
Great story.
Wow! Great stuff here. So you're from Pittsburgh? It lives right through the story here!
Thank you. I went to university there twenty years ago, but I live on the other side of the state
>the spray of scalding water
Was this to imply scalding hot water? I find hot water taps on the outside of buildings to be a bit rare.
