If the pressure in a steam boiler 3.6 bar what is the temperature of the steam?
At 3.6 Bar (52.2 psi) Saturated Steam Temperature would be 148.8 Deg. C (299.9 Deg. F)
What is the temperature that will produce steam on Fahrenheit scale?
what would you do for a klondike bar.
What is a desuperheater?
HiSuperheated steam is steam that is at a temperature higher than the saturation temperature for the steam pressure. For example, steam at a pressure of 3 bar g has a saturation temperature of 143.762°C. If further heat were to be added to this steam and the pressure remained at 3 bar g, it would become superheated.So, desuperheating is the process by which superheated steam is restored to its saturated state, or the superheat temperature is reduced.The idea behind desuperheating is that saturated steam has a better energy exchange capacity (U coefficient) than superheated steam.Superheated steam must cool down before condensing, therefore it is less efficient than saturated steam in appliances such as heat exchangers.Also, superheated steam is a thermal insulator, just like air.
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.
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated steam?
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated water, or steam?
May steam be used for cooling?
Depends on the temperature of the thing you want to cool down. If it's warmer than the steam, then steam will cool it to the temperature of the steam. If it's already cooler than the steam, then steam can't cool it.
A condensates return temperature indicates normal operation excessive steam defective trap or wet steam?
A condensates return temperature indicates excessive steam.
In which physical state will a sample of a 100 grams of water contain the most energy?
100 g Steam at high temperature (>100°C) and pressure (>1 Bar)
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.
What has the same temperature as the condensation point of steam?
vaporization point of steam
What might you see and what could happen if steam seal on a steam turbine temperature is incorrect?
Of steam seal on a steam turbine temperature in incorrect could cause damage. This could cause it not to work right.
What is saturation temperature of steam?
Saturation temperature of steam is the Temperature at whihc any addition of heat does not increase the temperature of the water but produces steam.It depends upon the pressue and for every pressure there is a saturation temperature.
