I know that as the phase of a substance changes the temperature of the substance remains constant. Now, I was wondering what would happen to the temperature of the container (assuming during the phase change of the substance contained in the container, the container itself doesn't undergo phase change) when the substance contained in the container was undergoing phase change.
I searched the web for any clue but could not find anything regarding the temperature of the container.
Would the temperature of the container go up or remain constant if heat is being supplied at a constant rate to the system(system containing the container and the substance undergoing phase change).
I think the temperature of the container depends upon the conductivity of the substance undergoing phase change. If the conductivity of the substance undergoing phase change is more than the container then the temperature of the container would remain same and if the conductivity of the substance is less than that of the container then the temperature of the container rises.
I am not sure if my line of reasoning is correct, hence would like to have some conformation regarding the same and do support your statement by a sound reasoning.
