For the sciencey people of Sep7. Let's say I have a kettle that's plated with the strongest steel you can buy. It also has the ability to seal completely shut so that nothing can enter or leave. If I filled that kettle up with water and boiled it, what would happen? Where would the water vapor go?

depending on how strong the kettle is, how hot you heat it, how much water is in it, etc., the kettle might fail or it might not.

BANG

Or it would turn into vapour and remain as vapour until the kettle cools down again.
(It would remain inside the kettle)

There might be a possibility of explosion. Heat and sealed containers is a bad thing.

There might also be escape through heavy condensation, but don't quote me on that.

And, as SC said, the kettle might just fail. Like an improper woodstove. The passage of air is required for a woodstove to function properly, and if the setup isn't right, then the woodstove, doesn't function properly, if, not at all.

Most of the water would turn into a vapor, but depending on the volume of said kettle it would reach a limit where no more water could evaporate due to intense pressure.

it's rc, you better get it right or i'll kill you

also that's not what condensation is

Technical terms, not spot on at the moment. Don't have the necessesary words to construct what I'm trying to convey in terms of escaping water and metal.

So even if the water temperature was above boiling point, it would stay a liquid?

Nope. Nope, got it. Brain is doing stuff. It's the heat transfer. Because of temperature differences, condensation of the kettle on the outside. Loss of heat, no air escape, water inside does not boil because of the transfer of heat. Heat, does transfer through objects, not water.

yes, under enough pressure it would be liquid, and with more pressure, solid.

in class's situation, heat is being added to the kettle the entire time tho

The water would boil, causing the vapor go within the restricted area. Due to the overly huge amount of vapor, though, the kettle will explode into pieces, causing a large explosion that might be witnessed from space. The Russians mixed some plutonium in the same idea of a kettle, and called it Tsar Bomba.

With a higher temperature I would be led to believe more water would evaporate thus increasing the pressure even more. It really depends on the amount of water and the volume of the kettle. A bit of it is going to stay liquid. And because of this science, pressure cookers make pretty good home made bombs.

Then there are three outcomes.

1. Kettle explodes when the pressure inside continues to rise beyond the capacity of the kettle.
2. Kettle is strong enough to maintain pressure, nothing happens.
3. Condensation on the outside of the kettle results in loss of heat, even if continueous heat is applied. Basically, heat goes in, heat comes out. Meaning, nothing happens.

Tuddah.

i don't think that any water would condense on the outside of the kettle. even if it did for some reason, it would just evaotoate away immediately.

Condensation doesn't happen fast enough, or vast enough to have much effect on lowering the temperature of a kettle that is constantly being heated. There will be water vapor creating pressure on the inside. Even though on the outside it may not look like much, there's a shitload of science going down inside. And if the kettle isn't up to the task it would explode, but if it could hold the pressure it would sit there with water vapor, and un-evaporated water.
