As I was asking I realized you could simulate with the same heat source and a liquid with similar density and other properties that relate to heat-density the time to explosion for eggs at the same temperature. One could subject the non-egg-but-similar-liquid to the same duration of heat and learn what the temperature would be after the same time. Of course, this would be an approximation, but would be close enough for this casual curiosity-driven experiment. | |
