How can you measure steam?
You could collect it in a container and cool it down and measure the quantity of water. Or you could hold a thermometer so that its bulb is in the steam to measure its temperature.
Can we do sterilization for doctor's thermometer as Sterilization of doctor's tools is done by steam Can we do that fot doctor's thermometer?
For a normal thermometer you can use warm water and soap. The body cavity you are sticking it into is not a wound and is not sterile so neither does the thermometer have to be. When they use a electrical thermometer at the hospital they have plastic coats they put on them, one for each patient. These are clean but not sterile. Depends on the design. The steam is so much hotter than what the thermometer's top level is that it can be damaged by steam.
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.
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.
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.
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.
What is the usual temperature of steam?
Anything greater than or equal to 212F (100C). Superheated steam used in steam locomotives, steam turbines in power plants, etc. can be any temperature from 500F to 2000F depending on the design of the system.Note: if you can see the "steam" it is not steam. What you see are tiny droplets of liquid water that have condensed from the steam and is probably exactly at 212F (100C) because it is in thermal equilibrium with the invisible steam at the same temperature.
What is the temperature of water in a steam shower unit?
Different individuals usually shower at different water temperatures. A steam shower unit does not have one water temperature. The temperature of the water in a steam shower unit varies, as the temperature may be controlled by a number of factors. Some of the steam shower units come equipped with a temperature gauge, so the individual may set the temperature to a specific degree.
