Relationship of temperature of boiling water and temperature of steam?
In the case where heat is being added to generate steam from a container of water, as long as there is water still in the container, the temperature remains constant. It takes energy for water to change state into steam and all of the heat added goes to performing this task so the temperature stays the same, 212 degF (100 degC) at atmospheric pressure. While the water is boiling, the steam is "saturated," meaning any loss of heat would cause some of the steam to condense back into water. Once all of the water has been boiled and changed state, any additional heat supplied will cause the temperature to increase and the steam is "superheated," that is above its saturation temperature.
What does water begin to do when its temperature reaches the dew point?
condense
Is it true that water turns to steam when the temperature increases?
Yes. When the temperature rises in a pot full of water, the water begins to evaporate and create a steam. That's why steam is usually warm.
How is heat generated?
When water is heated, there is a relation between temperature and pressure at which the water and steam are in equilibrium. This applies up to 374 degC at which the corresponding pressure is 222 bar abs or 3220 psi abs. Beyond this temperature liquid water cannot exist and the steam is said to be supercritical. At any temperature between 100 degC and 374 degC there will therefore be a pressure at which steam is just formed and this is said to be dry saturated steam. It is saturated because if the temperature drops even slightly at the same pressure, steam will condense. If at this same pressure the steam is further heated, it is said to be superheated because it is at a temperature higher than dry saturated steam would be. Superheated steam is desirable for use in steam turbines, because it prevents formation of water droplets as the steam is expanded through the turbine-the droplets could damage the turbine blades. In the supercritical region above 374 degC steam will always exist whatever the pressure, so the concept of superheat does not apply here.
How is water is used in nuclear power generation?
Water is used to transfer heat from the nuclear fuel in the reactor to the steam generators where it transfers heat to the secondary water to make steam. The steam is then used to turn turbines. Water from an external source is also used to condense the steam from the turbine exhaust, and this water is then returned to the steam generators to continue the cycle.
What temperature does steam condense into water?
When it is under 100 degrees celsius
Does water and cloud and steam evaporate?
Clouds and steam are forms of evaporated water. Water is the main base for evaporation to occur. Bot clouds and steam can condense in a cool temperature, while water can bothe condense and evaporate. So they are not much alike.
What is the difference between dry steam and wet steam to clean?
DRY steam is superheated There is a temperature below which steam will start to condense into water droplets. This is called the saturation temperature, and it varies with the pressure of the steam. Steam that is exactly at its saturation temperature is called saturated steam. Steam that is below its saturation temperature contains droplets of moisture and is called wet steam. Steam that is above its saturation temperature is called superheated steam.
What temperature does steam condense?
When water reaches boiling, it becomes steam. Once the water cools down, typically below 100 degrees Fahrenheit, it will begin to form water droplets or condensation.
What is the difference between freezing and condensation?
To condense means to convert gas into liquid (steam to water.) To freeze is to convert from liquid to solid (water to ice.)
How much water is requried to condense per ton of steam?
50 times of steam
Why do frozen things steam at room temperature?
The frozen objects cool the surrounding air below the dew point, which causes water vapor in the air to condense into fog, which may appear to be steam.
Can you turn steam back into water again?
yes. cool the air and the water will condense.

What is the steps for crushing can in cold water?
You have to fill the can with steam and then seal it closed. when you then put the can in cold water the steam will condense into water and the can will be crushed by atmospheric pressure.
What happens to particles of water when freeze?
The vibration of the atoms slows and they condense together.
Boil is to as freeze is to ice?
water
