    Calculating time taken to boil water

    i am only trying to design a water tank that will take the logger and ensure it survives the monitoring process of an oven. Im not designing a dryer? and I am sorry if you think I am using you for free consultancy. I was only after an equation or equations to allow me to calculate it for...

    Calculating time taken to boil water

    sorry guys i imagine this is frustrating for you (like pulling teeth) i'll have one more go at explaining and if no joy i'll call it a day as I don't want to waste your time! ok what i need to achieve: • I have a car oven (to cure the paint) • Paint cures at a certain temp for a period of...

    Calculating time taken to boil water

    sorry guys.. in my mind i have told you what I am after but I am clearly struggling to get it down on paper so...in a nut shell all i want is to know how long (hrs/mins) will an amount of water take to evaporate at 800°C or any temp for that matter The reason I am after this is to work out how...

    Calculating time taken to boil water

    thanks for you input so far ok the kiln I am using is: • 700mm wide, 700mm high & 900mm long (internal/usable space) • 3 phase 239amps @400 volts & 38kw • it does have an extraction vent my water tank made from 2mm thick stainless steel is 504.25mm wide, 500mm long & 200mm high (50.425litres)...

    Calculating time taken to boil water

    sorry all the factors are examples (clearly bad ones) • The heat in the kiln is from all sides. • It is a 3 phase kiln • water tank size will be as neccesary (1, 10 or 50 litres...unknown yet) • kiln will be at 800°C when water tank is inserted. so I am after... how long will a certain amount...

    Calculating time taken to boil water

    the kiln is a typical pottery size kiln and i don't think the steam can escape.

    Calculating time taken to boil water

    yes tank is sealed other than two baffled pipes for steam to escape (also used to fill with water)

    Calculating time taken to boil water

    sorry I am struggling to use the correct terms. so I would like to put a data logger inside a water tank which will then go inside a kiln at 800°C (water, water tank and logger will start at room temp) Im wondering if my water tank was 50litres capacity for example, how long before all...

    Calculating time taken to boil water

    Hi Need help please... my very limited knowledge of physics is very rusty lol...Im trying to work out the following: Basically if i have 50litres of water in a metal box how long will it take to boil off when heated to 800°C? And is there an equation for? Thanks very much in advance
