Starting temp will be at room temperature.I need it for boiling.berkeman said:Welcome to the PF.
What are the starting and final temperatures? Do you need to boil it, or just heat it to a warmer temperature?
This calculator will help you figure out how much energy and power are required to heat your water from room temperature to just short of boiling:Bhisma Thapa said:Starting temp will be at room temperature.I need it for boiling.
Power is the rate of energy flow. You must deliver energy at a rate greater than the heat loss by all processes over all temperatures.Bhisma Thapa said:What should the power of a heating coil?

After that, it depends on whether you want to actually boil off the water, or keep it boiling for some period of time. Also, unless your container is perfectly insulated, you will lose some energy to the surroundings...
Can you say more about the application?

Agreed.anorlunda said:Be careful and very vigilant about safety. It takes only one mistake to turn a pressure cooker into a bomb able to kill everyone in the room.
