Principle and working of a cooking kettle:

The aqueous solution is placed in the inner kettle, also known as the inner evaporating pan, which is jacketed. Steam is then applied to this kettle, through the inlet, and as a result of this steam, the jacketed kettle is heated. With the help of conduction and convection, the heat is passed on to the aqueous solution. This leads to the evaporation of the solvent molecules. 

Advantages of a cooking kettle:

1. A cooking kettle can be used in a wide range of industrial procedures, including both small-scale and large-scale industrial procedures.
