Which outcome would thermodynamically hinder ice resurfacing during hockey games?

A)High ambient air humidity
B)Low rink refrigeration capacity
C)The Zonal jet stream speeds
D)Reduced Zamboni water temperature

💡 Explanation

High humidity hinders resurfacing because latent heat transfer increases; the phase transitions from water to ice slow dramatically due to elevated water vapor pressure inhibiting heat dissipation via evaporative cooling. Therefore, ice quality suffers unless refrigeration is compensated, rather than faster freezing via water temperature manipulation at constant absolute vapor pressure.
