When boiling food the cooking temperature is limited to about 100° C. Pressure cookers allow for faster cooking by increasing the boiling temperature of water using increased pressure. The pressure within the sealed cooker can be varied by using different weights to seal the vent. A pressure cooker containing 5kg of water is to be used to cook potatoes at 150°C determine (a) what pressure is necessary to maintain the desired boiling temperature and (b) the mass of the weight that must be used in order to maintain the pressure determined in part (a) given a round vent with a diameter of 1cm, (c) if the pressure cooker has a volume of 15L what is the quality of the steam within the pressure cooker the instant it reaches temperature, before any steam is vented (assuming all air has been purged from the cooker by this point) , and (d) how long can the potatoes be cooked at the desired temperature before all the water is boiled away if heat is being added to the system by a 8000 Watt burner

How does a boiling process at supercritical pressures differ from the boiling process at subcritical pressures?

10-kg of R-134a fill a 1.348-m3 rigid container at an initial temperature of -40 degree Celsius. The container is then heated until the pressure is 200 kPa. Determine the final temperature and the initial pressure.
