The rate of cooling of a heated quantity of liquid in an enclosure depends on the
Pressure of the liquid
Temperature in the enclosure
Pressure of the enclosure
Volume of the liquid
Forklaring
The temperature difference between the heated liquid and the surrounding environment (the enclosure) is a crucial factor in determining the rate of heat transfer.
According to Newton's Law of Cooling, the rate of cooling is proportional to the temperature difference between the object and its surroundings.
