How steam heat is lost in a plant?
steam is lost in the plant through variuos way. But generally it is through heat transfer to the product to be heated by the steam. Also heat transfer through the conducting passage.
Why saturated steam is used in exchangers frequently rather then superheated?
The heat transfer coefficient of superheated steam is poor. Saturated steam has a better heat transfer coefficient, and also most of the heat transferred from steam occurs because of the condensation phase change.
Why is heat trasnfer coefficient of saturated steam is higher than superheated steam?
when steam is at its saturation point for a given pressure, any heat removed will cause liquid water to form. So when saturated steam is used to heat something else, the heated object/substance receives the condensation heat of the steam. The latent heat of condensation/evaporation is 970 But/lb @ 0 psig. On the other, superheated steam only gives up about 10 BTU/lb if it is cooled 20 degrees F. That means that much more steam would be used to transfer the equivalent amount of heat. The liquid water interface also improves the heat transfer.
What is the functions of heat power cycle in a steam power plant?
There is no such thing as a heat power cycle in a steam engine.The power stroke, or strokes, result from pressurised steam being let into the cylinder and moving the piston.
What has to happen to nuclear before it cam be used to generate electricity?
The nuclear reaction produces heat The heat is used to make steam The steam makes the turbines spin The turbines make electricity
A kind of engine that uses water steam or heat?
A steam engine uses water, steam, and heat.

How is a steam burn an example of latent heat?
A steam burn is an example of latent heat, because beside the heat released by the steam itself, a part of it condenses, turning into water, which in turn releases heat too.
What enables a steam boat to run only on steam?
Nothing, a steam boat runs not on steam, but on a heat source GENERATING steam. this heat source is usually coal but could be wood or a fossil fuel.
How steam burns happen?
Ordinary pressure steam scalds the skin and tissue, and whilst condensing causes further heat insult. Superheated steam acts like a thermal lance and cuts into the tissue as well as scalding and burning deep tissue.
What is the science behind Hairstraighteners?
steam (heat creates steam)
How is steam produced in a boiler?
Steam is generated by heat from the combution of fuel in a furnace or by waste heat from a process. The heat is transferred to water in the boiler shell, which then evaporates to produce steam under pressure.
How do you turn ice into steam?
Heat it.... The heat will first convert ice into water and will then convert it into steam. You can heat ice in any kettle.....or saucepan.......
What is energy in the from of heat?
steam
What type of energy does the steam in a steam turbine have?
It is heat energy. The turbine turns heat energy into mechanical energy.
How steam heat is lost in a plant?
steam is lost in the plant through variuos way. But generally it is through heat transfer to the product to be heated by the steam. Also heat transfer through the conducting passage.
