Water Pressure, Heat Transfer, and Electricity: Boiling—or Not

When water is in the liquid phase, raising the temperature will eventually lead to boiling, and the boiling point of water is 212^o F or 100^o C when the pressure is 1 atmosphere. However, boiling is a pressure-dependent phase change. If water is put under pressure, the boiling point is elevated; if the pressure is lowered, the boiling point will also go down. This phenomenon has some very practical applications in the power plants, particularly nuclear power plants.

After thoroughly reviewing the processes of boiling and condensation, write a thoughtful, complete but concise response to the following:

1. What are some practical applications of increasing the boiling point of water by increasing the pressure exerted on it?
2. How will this help the overall efficiency of a nuclear power plant?

at least 250 words with proper APA style formatting. Be sure to back up each statement of fact with cited sources.
