Project update

Working on the project i have done a fair bit about copper pipes, insulation and heating properties, how to deliver steam to the cooker etc. Problems that occurred are that heating the steam wouldn't be effective enough and using superheated steam to heat the elements would require a high amount of energy from a another fuel source. Currently researching other ways of conducting steam into a heat efficient method. Meeting next week.

Thermal Dynamic

Research has been great learned a bit about varieties in steam and creating ideas for our pressure cooker. Our meeting consisted of the concept relation to thermal dynamics, there is a lot of information about this on the internet and calculations on heat transfer. At the moment we are more interested in looking into design, and have tried to come up with better ideas that work. Anura gave us the idea to work on a element that can be used for cooking externally rather than internally, which was a good idea because it could be potential for other uses, but at the moment it would be better to keep this simple.
