Large amounts of liquid are heated in a boiler or a vat. A boiler heats water to produce steam for heating buildings. A vat is used in a factory to heat large amounts of liquid for many different purposes.

It really depends on what you're asking, and what you want to do, what, and how much you are heating. 50 gallons, 500 gallons, 5000 gallons, or perhaps merely wanting to heat up the ocean.

  • The SUN
  • Solar Panels
  • Swimming Pool Heaters
  • Furnaces
  • Boilers
  • A small heat source, and very good insulation

You would use a crucible to heat a solid to a high temperature. Crucibles can be made of metal or ceramic and you would use one made of a material that would sustain the high temperature without damage.

That depends on what the substance is, how hot I want it to get, and what equipment I have available.

The fact that you said "equipment" implies to me that you're in a lab. Some options:
Water bath
Steam bath
Heat lamp
Hot plate
Heating mantle
Alcohol lamp
Gas Burner (probably Bunsen, Tirrill, or Meker-Fisher, depending mainly on which I see first, though I might bother to specifically seek out a Meker-Fisher or an oxy-acetylene hand torch for some things)
Kjeldahl rack
Drying oven
Muffle furnace
