What uses air pressure to work?
air
What gas is applied in pressure cooker?
The gas is air.
What is the air pressure inside the pressure cooker after the safety valve melts?
sex
What is the difference between a halogen cooker and a convection cooker?
A halogen cooker is the same thing as an electric stove and a convection cooker uses a circulating current of hot air to cook foods.
How does a pressure cooker demonstrate the effect of air pressure on waters boiling point?
Vapour rom the boiling water is not allowed to escape and so the pressure above the water increases. This raises the temperature at which the water inside the cooker boils.
Why mountaineers in Everest have to use pressure cooker to boil an egg?
because there is very little air pressure up that high in the atmosphere.
Why the boiling point of water in pressure cooker high?
A pressure cooker minimizes the escape of fluids or air. The build-up of air and fluid increases the pressure inside the cooker, which also increases the boiling point. An open kettle allows the fluid and air to escape, heat is lost thus cooking time is longer.
What is an Air Power Tool?
An air power tool is a type of tool, which is powered by electricity and uses air to do work. More often than not the air is compressed to provide pressure, such as an air compressor.
Why is it easier to cook in a pressure cooker?
The universal gas law states that (pressure * volume/temperature) of a gas is a constant. Hence, if the volume stays the same (as in a pressure cooker), the air in the cooker can increase in temperature beyond the boiling point of water as pressure builds up over the normal atmospheric pressure. A higher temperature means faster cooking. The above is a very simplistic view of the physics involved.
Why is it difficult to hard boil an egg at high altitude?
Because the air pressure is lower then at sealevel, the boiling temperature of the water is lower. Unless you have a (high) pressure cooker.
How you measure boiling point in pressure cooker?
Normally you have a pressure of approx. 2 bar (2kPa) in a pressure cooker.At this pressure the boiling point of water is 120 0C (393 K) or 247 FSee the Related Questions to the left for more information about how pressure affects the boiling point of water.
Thermometer is to air pressure as what is to air pressure?
You asked the question wrong. The analogy was : Thermometer is to Temperature as Barometer is to Air Pressure.A meteorologist uses his Barometer to measure pressure in millibars, very small changes in the atmosphere's pressure. He uses the Thermometer to measure the air Temperature.
