kuplimisen

Kuplimisen, often translated as "boiling" or "simmering" in English, refers to the process of heating a liquid to its boiling point. This occurs when the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the surrounding atmospheric pressure, causing the liquid to transform into a gas and form bubbles. The temperature at which this transformation happens is known as the boiling point, which is a physical property unique to each substance and can be influenced by pressure. For water at standard atmospheric pressure, the boiling point is 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit).

The visual characteristic of kupliminen is the vigorous formation and rise of bubbles throughout the liquid, which indicates the rapid vaporization occurring. This process is commonly employed in various applications, including cooking, sterilization, and industrial processes. In culinary contexts, boiling is used to cook food, reduce liquids, and prepare beverages. Sterilization often relies on boiling water to kill harmful microorganisms. Industrially, boiling is a fundamental step in distillation and other separation techniques. While often used interchangeably with simmering, kupliminen typically implies a more intense and rapid boiling action. Simmering, on the other hand, involves heating a liquid just below its boiling point, with gentler bubble formation.
