hi,

fermenter is generally used for wine and beer and other products like penicillin,acetone,citric acid etc. before a batch starts fermenter need to be sterilized to kill all unwanted bacteria. steam can provide cell disrupting temperature at 121 c temperature and 15 lbs pressure.that's why steam passed through the fermenter and it takes long to cool fermenter that's why cool water passed.

What was wrong with Newcomen's steam engine before James Watt improved it?

The steam cylinder was heated by steam then cooled to condense the steam. This caused thermal stress and cracking. James Watt corrected that with a separate condenser, allowing the cylinder to remain hot.

When did steam train get inveted?

The steam engine, the use of steam has been percolating since old Chinese days of a toylike device filled with water and pipes coming out of its sides hung over a candle spinning like a top. Time enough man gets ideas how to use this and technology advances by the addition of ideas, technical capabilities, and trial and error. A crude steam device was built to pump water out of coal mines. The late 1700's a crude steam locomotive was invented and the first railroads started in the early 1800's with the first early steam engines, and it slowly grows from there. There is no one -definitive- date of a steam train being invented, but it sounds like the start of the application of a "steam locomotive" may have started about the late 1700's. The start of the modern steam era was about 1911 onward where the super power designs were just getting into its start and peaks around world war 2, the start of the diesel locomotive development started the slow demise of the steam locomotive and by around 1960 most railroads had ended mainline steam use. Museums and historical societies today still keep the steam locomotive alive that you can ride behind a real live steam engine still.


How long did it take to make the railway?

Steam trains varied in length due to the length of the passenger carriages that they were coupled to. Usually they didnt exceed the length of the platform.

no, physical. The steam can return to water if cooled. Chemical changes are irreversible.


What is the effect of dry steam entry in to a wet steam filled vessel whether it promotes condensation in the vessel?

The effect of dry steam entry into a wet steam filled vessel will promote condensation in the vessel. However, it will be less wet because of the dry steam.

How does steam make a cake lighter?

It tends to, yes. But if the steam condenses onto the cake (in the form of water when cooled), then it will actually make the cake a bit heavier.
