In a steam autoclave (pressure cooker)at a set pressure/temperature, for a set length of time, will the same amount of energy transfer to say 6 objects vs 3 objects, all of same size, mass, materials, etc... Basically can I "heat" something quicker if there is more steam vs mass to heat?
2 questions:
Begin with an autoclave full of air at atmospheric pressure, open a valve to supply CO2 for 10 minutes (I understand mass flow rate increases with temp drop), now start supplying steam to bring up to a certain temperature.
Supply steam pressure-temp is constant, as is CO2 pressure...
