Water weighs 1kg per liter. If it is all turned to steam you will have 1kg of steam. Water expands to nearly 1700 times its original volume at 212 degrees.

How much does water expand when it turns to steam?

At 212 degrees Fahrenheit water expands approximately 1,700 its original volume when converted to steam.


How much does steam expand at 1200 degrees?

According to Swede Systems Flashover training it expands 4200 times its original volume. So one gallon of water, introduced to a 1200 degree room would expand to 4200 gallons of steam. I have been unable to confirm this as of yet however. Please elaborate if you have additional information. Thank you.

How much does water expand at 500 degrees?

That depends on what temperature it started at. Whatever scale of temperature you are using, water will be steam at 500 degrees.


Why turbine blades are largenr in size at exhaust end?

Because the steam expands as it passes through the turbine. The steam velocity through the turbine is constant from steam chest to exhaust hood (though it changes in each stage). Thus, the space needed for the steam to expand needs to be expanded to correspond with that expansion of the steam.


Why in steam turbine maintain steam temp 535 degree Celsius?

IT is not accurately 535 c.... The water should be in the super heated condition... So we go to like a higher temperature region and also higher pressure region to change the steam as super heated steam and then the steam is allowed to expand in the steam turbine... now the power gained is much higher than the water flowes at saturated condition like (200 c - 300 c )... so only we are moving to higher temperature and higher pressure region


What is steam rate?

Steam rate means how much mass of steam entering into system per time.........


What is mean by supersaturated flow?

When dry and saturated steam is caused to expand in a nozzle,the actual measured steam flow is found to be greater than the theoretical calculated flow.This is due to the time lag in the condensation of steam & the steam remains in dry state instead of wet. Such a steam is called supersaturated steam. This time lag is cause due to the the face that, the converging part of the nozzle is to short and the steam velocity is too high that the molecules of steam have insufficient time to form droplets.

How much steam is required to produce 5 MW power in steam turbine?

How much steam is required to produce 5 MW power in steam turbine?In fully condensing turbine we will need 20 TPH steam required to generate for 5MW


Why does temperature remains constant when water is heated to change into steam gas?

Because any additional heat applied after the steam has formed is converted into further expansion of volume. If the volume is contained and cannot expand (as in a boiler), the temperature will rise further and the steam is said to be super-heated.


Why did steam rise off the titanics funnels?

Because the titanics boilers did not measure how much steam was boiling if there was to much steam it would go out the funnels that were 63 feet high.
