Assuming pool boiling, nucleate regime, the equation of the heat flux contains both the saturation temperature and the surface temperature. However, as more heat is pumped into the system (the exhaust is small), the Tsat changes. So , even knowing the heat flux, I still have two unknowns, the...

but what kind of pressure increase in the vessel and what steam mass outflow should I get once it reaches a steady state boil? How would I calculate that?

I'm trying to build a mathematical model of something like Heron's Aeolipile: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolipile I'd like to know, based on a known heat flux, the pressure and temperature attained in the container. I assume as water boils, the control volume loses mass and energy, the...
