How many steam driven cotton factorie were in Manchester in the 1700s?

In the 1700s, Manchester became a significant center for the cotton industry, but it was not until the late 18th century that steam-driven factories began to emerge. By the end of the century, there were only a few steam-powered cotton mills operating in the city, as the widespread adoption of steam power in cotton manufacturing really took off in the early 19th century. Thus, while there were some steam-driven factories in Manchester by the late 1700s, they were relatively limited in number compared to the rapid expansion that followed.

Is superheated steam suitable for air heaters instead of saturated steam?

No, superheated steam gives off little energy. Most of the heat given off by steam is the latent heat of condensation as it undergoes a phase change from vapor to liquid. Superheated steam could first be "desuperheated" by adding water until it reaches the saturation point, then used for heat transfer processes.


Does a nuclear power plant let out steam?

Any steam you see from a nuclear plant is not from the reactor primary circuit, but as on any steam power station, whether nuclear or fossil fired, there are times when steam has to be released. This is particularly during start up from cold when steam lines have to be purged and warmed through before the steam at the turbine inlet is of good enough quality to start it rolling. Another circumstance when steam will be blown off is if the turbine suddenly trips out or the outgoing grid connection is lost for some reason, then there is a sudden loss of the requirement for the steam being produced from the nuclear plant and it has to be blown off temporarily via pressure reducing safety valves.
