The beaker which is placed in front of a rotating fan will cool first. When the beaker is in water, the cold water absorbs heat. But when it is in front of a rotating fan, the heat transfer is due to forced convection of air. Heat transfer rate is more in forced convection, So, the beaker placed in front of a rotating fan cools faster.
