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.

No, the temperature does not change during a phase change. It remains constant until all the substance has undergone the phase change.

When will water boil over 100 degrees celsius?

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?

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.


How does the failure of the compressor in a refrigerator affect the heat transfer cycle?

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.
