ASPECT/CHARACTERISTIC/MODIFICATION

1.

The lid of the pan designed to lower the air

The boiling point of water decreased

2.

pressure inside the pan

The lid of the pan made of substance which

Heat will not absorbed by the lid, so heat

3.

has weak conductivity of heat

Made from material with low specific heat

will not lost to surrounding

Temperature in the pot can be increased

capacity

quickly when heated. This

Made from a low density material

Made from material that is not easily

saves fuel / cooking gas.

Pot is light and more portable
Pot is more durable and will not

corroded or oxidized

contaminate the food with dangerous

6.

The handle of the pot is made from

material
The handle becomes hot slower and

7.

material with high specific heat capacity

The pot is designed to have vertical

can be held without scorching the hand

This makes the pot versatile because

compartments which can be added or

different food can be cooked at the same

High melting point

Does not melt easily if there is an increas

Liquid that difficult to compress.

Thermometric liquid chosen is mercury
Capillary tube is made narrow and thin
Shape of the thermometer is round
Thermometer is placed in melting ice
Thermometer is placed in steam
Low specific heat capacity of ice cream box
Easy get cold // becomes cool quickly
Plastic PVC
Bright colour of outer box

Because it easily expands uniformly

More sensitive
Has magnifying effect

To obtain the upper point
Easy get cold // becomes cool quickly
Easier to carry // easy to become cool
Poor conductor of heat
Does not absorb heat from surrounding

29.

Does not absorb heat from surrounding

quickly
To prevent the loss of heat energy

quickly
Use an absorber panel which is painted

A black surface is a good absorber of

black.

radiation so it will absorb heat faster
