  2. Electric stove - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_stove

    Ahearn and Warren Y. Soper were owners of Ottawa's Chaudiere Electric Light and Power Company. [4] The electric stove was showcased at the Chicago World's Fair in 1893, where an electrified model kitchen was shown. Unlike the gas stove, the electrical stove was slow to catch on, partly due to the unfamiliar technology, and the need for cities ...

  3. Hot plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_plate

    A hot plate or hotplate is a heated flat surface on a stove or electric cooker on which food may be cooked. [3] It comprises a heated top which is flat and usually circular, and may be made of metal, ceramic, or heat-resistant glass, with resistive wire forming a heating element fitted underneath and a thermostat to control the temperature.

  4. Induction cooking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking

    The first patents were issued in the early 1900s. [2] Demonstration stoves were shown by the Frigidaire division of General Motors in the mid-1950s [3] on a touring showcase. . The induction cooker was shown heating a pot of water with a newspaper placed between the stove and the pot, to demonstrate the convenience and saf

  5. Plate heat exchanger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_heat_exchanger

    The total rate of heat transfer between the hot and cold fluids passing through a plate heat exchanger may be expressed as: Q = UA∆Tm where U is the Overall heat transfer coefficient, A is the total plate area, and ∆Tm is the Log mean temperature difference. U is dependent upon the heat transfer coefficients in the hot and cold streams.

  6. Refrigerator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refrigerator

    Food in a refrigerator with its door open. A refrigerator, commonly shortened to fridge, is a commercial and home appliance consisting of a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump (mechanical, electronic or chemical) that transfers heat from its inside to its external environment so that its inside is cooled to a temperature below the room temperature. [1]

  7. Plate burner - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plate_burner

    The film and plate are placed into a vacuum on the plate burner to remove any pockets of air and ensure the film is in close contact with the surface of the printing plate. Once the vacuum is established, a high power (5 kW) UV lamp (also associated with the burner) is turned on, which "burns" an image through the film and onto the plate. The ...

  8. Hot plate welding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_plate_welding

    With non-contact hot plate welding, the weld surfaces are melted without physical contact with the hot plate through convection and radiation heating. The hot plate temperature is between 400 and 550 °C (752 and 1,022 °F), and the weld surfaces are placed about 1 to 3 millimetres (0.039 to 0.118 in) from the hot plate. [4]

  9. Traditional Chinese medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditional_Chinese_medicine

    Historians have noted that Chinese scholars wrote these studies instead of "books of prescriptions or advice manuals;" in their historical and environmental understanding, no two illnesses were alike so the healing strategies of the practitioner was unique every time to the specific diagnosis of the patient.
