For silicone heating mats, the losses are due to heat being lost from the outside of the mats directly to the air and table. The overall kettle efficiency in both cases needs to also include the heat losses from the walls and top of the kettle as distinct from the heat energy that goes into increasing the temperature of the wort.
During the silicon growth process the shape of the crystal, especially the diameter, is controlled by carefully adjusting the heating power, the pulling rate, and the rotation rate of the crystal. In the initial stages, the pull rate is quite high, and the growing crystal is only about 3–5 mm in diameter.
