Pressure cookers affect the phase change in water by exploiting the steam cycle. Because of the pressure built up in the cooking chamber, the steam cooks the food much faster than using traditional pots and pans or the oven.
The change in pressure is highly affected by altitude.
Change of phase is caused 99% of the time by a change in temperature or pressure.
Changing the temperature or pressure of a material we can change the phase.
gas phase
Change in temperature or pressure/volume.
The phase of the moon affects ocean tides and barometric pressure. It is logical that it would affect egg production.
No, the temperature does not change during a phase change. It remains constant until all the substance has undergone the phase change.
Temperature and/or pressure cause the bonds holding particles together to weaken.
If the reaction occurs in the gas phase
If the ambient pressure is increased, then the boiling point temperature will rise. This is how pressure cookers operate. There are many phase diagrams for water available online. Unfortunately, link posting is not available in wikianswers at this time.
A gas is most likely to change to the liquid phase when the pressure on the gas is increased. This is because the same number of molecules will have less space to occupy.
When the compressor fails, the high vapor pressure refrigerant is no longer condensed. Without a phase change of the refrigerant is refrigerator will not cool.
