Hi
I was in a discussion with some friends a couple of days ago. The discussion revolved the pressure raise in a liquid filled container. The question was, is the pressure behavior dependent on whether the container is filled with only water or filled 50/50 water/air. (The discussion started when an unopened beer ended up in the fire...)
My intuitive answer is that the pressure behavior while heated is dependent on the containment, but I don't know how... Nor do I know how to calculate the pressure for the liquid/gas pressure of the water. The air pressure seems pretty straight forward if the ideal gas law is used.
