When it is under 100 degrees celsius
Approximately 30,000 gallons of water is required to condense one ton of steam.
That depends on what type of liquid created the steam. Obviously, different liquids have different evaporation, boiling, and melting points.
Either reduce its temperature or increase the pressure on it, and provide something on which the steam can condense.
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.
At the same temperature, water molecules have the same amount of energy, whether in the form of solid ice, liquid water, or gaseous steam. When cooled at this specific temperature, the kinetic energy of water molecules decreases, causing them to come closer together and form a solid (freeze) or a liquid (condense) depending on the initial state of the water.
When steam turns to water, the particles lose energy and slow down, coming closer together. This causes the steam to condense into liquid 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.
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.
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.
Water vapor condenses into liquid water at its dew point temperature.
When enough heat energy is gained by liquid water, it can change phase and turn into steam or vapor, transitioning from a liquid to a gaseous state. This process is known as evaporation or boiling, depending on the temperature reached.
No, salt does not affect the temperature of steam. Adding salt to water increases the boiling point of the water, but once the water has turned into steam, the temperature of the steam remains the same.
