Heated Water Bowl Why Does A Pot Of Heated Water Suddenly Release More Steam When The Heat Is Turned Off?

Why does a pot of heated water suddenly release more steam when the heat is turned off? - heated water bowl

When I make pasta, is pasta in the water and the heat out to keep the boiling water and steam from the pot with a constant speed. Almost normal. When the noodles are done and I turn off the heat, the amount of water vapor from the pot increases suddenly. I noticed that this behavior is the presence of noodles in the water is independent.

If the water is warmer, the vapor produced is less dense. It is also dispersed by the heat radiated from the flame.

When it cools, it becomes more concentrated and therefore more visible.

See what happens when you put them in the cold.

It is mearly condensed water vapor.
When the water boils the water is warmer and less dense as it cools and condenses more slowly at a lower rate Ove a wider area, and seems less dense. When removing the heat of the steam will travel a shorter distance before it is condensed and less dense

For if the hot water is not a source of heat, fresh air has come into contact with hot water and make steam. (almost surely)

When the heat on and the water boils, the water flows through the first vapor phase (liquid / gas) is a complete gas, which is not visible. If the fire is extinguished, the gas is cooled immediately and gas is now visible, which is steamed, then cooled in liquid form to return.
