    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kettle

    A kettle, sometimes called a tea kettle or teakettle, is a device specialized for boiling water, commonly with a lid, spout, and handle. There are two main types: the stovetop kettle , which uses heat from a hob , and the electric kettle , which is a small kitchen appliance with an internal heating element .

  3. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

    Boiler (power generation) An industrial boiler, originally used for supplying steam to a stationary steam engine. A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low ...

  4. Electrical efficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_efficiency

    Electric kettle: more than 90% [citation needed] (comparatively little heat energy is lost during the 2 to 3 minutes a kettle takes to boil water). A premium efficiency electric motor: more than 90% (see Main Article: Premium efficiency). A large power transformer used in the electrical grid may have efficiency of more than 99%. Early 19th ...

  5. Boiling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling

    Rolling boil of water in an electric kettle. Boiling or ebullition is the rapid phase transition from liquid to gas or vapor; the reverse of boiling is condensation.Boiling occurs when a liquid is heated to its boiling point, so that the vapour pressure of the liquid is equal to the pressure exerted on the liquid by the surrounding atmosphere.

  6. Talk:Kettle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kettle

    An 'efficiency' value for a kettle can be defined as the ratio of the energy required to heat a desired volume of water (e.g. 220 ml standard cup) to the energy required to boil the kettle. For the plastic kettle, the minimum volume mark corresponded to 350 ml. Add to this the additional volume for the heat capacity (105 ml) and the efficiency ...

  7. Boiler - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler

    A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated.The fluid does not necessarily boil.The heated or vaporized fluid exits the boiler for use in various processes or heating applications, [1] [page needed] [2] [page needed] including water heating, central heating, boiler-based power generation, cooking, and sanitation.

  8. Water heating - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_heating

    Water heating is a heat transfer process that uses an energy source to heat water above its initial temperature. Typical domestic uses of hot water include cooking, cleaning, bathing, and space heating. In industry, hot water and water heated to steam have many uses. Domestically, water is traditionally heated in vessels known as water heaters ...

  9. Induction cooking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

    An induction cooker wirelessly transfers electrical energy by induction from a coil of wire into a metal vessel. The coil is mounted under the cooking surface, and a low radio frequency (typically ~25-50 kHz [2]) alternating current is passed through it. The current in the coil creates a dynamic electromagnetic field which is strongly magnetic.
