Steam pressure can be raised as high as the rating of the steam generator. Some super-critical steam generators actually operate at over 15,000 psi. Critical pressure/temperature for steam is 3206 psia, and 705^F. This is the point at which steam and water are indistinguishable from one another. All critical and super-critical steam generators require forced flow, (the water/steam is pumped through the generator). The temperature or the pressure can be raised above critical values, with the use of specialized equipment. Generally speaking, non-forced flow boilers can only achieve about 1500 psia, as the density of the steam approaches the density of the water, preventing natural circulation.
What else can I help you with?
High pressure steam turns the blades of?
High pressure steam hits the blades of a TURBINE and turns its shaft.
What the inside of steam boiler?
"What the inside of steam boiler?" Would you like to know: with no water and steam, construction, under steam conditions, high loads, high TDS, Low pressure.
Why would you not heat the steam coming out of turbine and feedback to turbine?
Steam is redirected back into the boiler from the high-pressure turbine for reheating, but the steam from the low-pressure turbine enters into a condenser to become water again.
How pressur decrease in steam nozzle?
In a steam nozzle, pressure decreases due to the conversion of enthalpy into kinetic energy as steam expands. As the high-pressure steam passes through the nozzle, its velocity increases while its pressure and temperature drop. This process is governed by the principles of thermodynamics, specifically the principles of conservation of mass and energy. The rapid expansion of steam results in a lower pressure at the nozzle exit compared to the inlet.
What is the percent of electricity produced by the process of heating steam to power a turbine in USA?
I can't answer for fossil (high pressure) cycles, but for the Nuclear Steam Supply Cycle (intermediate pressure) the efficiency is about 33%.
Who invented high pressure steam broilers?
gumball who ivented high pressure steam broilers
What is the pressure of high pressure steam?
will density of water is equal to density of steam at high pressures and temperatures
High pressure steam turns the blades of?
High pressure steam hits the blades of a TURBINE and turns its shaft.
Advantage of high pressure boiler over high pressure boiler?
High-pressure boilers can generate more steam at a higher temperature, which increases energy efficiency and reduces fuel consumption. They are also more compact in size and require less space compared to low-pressure boilers. Additionally, high-pressure boilers can achieve faster steam production and respond quickly to changes in demand.
What is the movement of the molecules in the high pressure steam?
In high pressure steam, molecules move rapidly and collide with each other and the walls of the container, creating pressure. This rapid movement is due to the high temperature of the steam.
What is the density of high pressure steam?
will density of water is equal to density of steam at high pressures and temperatures
Who invented the high pressure steam engine?
It was NOT James Watt that invented the high-pressure steam engine. James Watt made very useful improvements to Newcomen's low-pressure steam engine, while several people experimented in the following years with high-pressure steam. It was Richard Trevithick, however, who invented the first proven, high-pressure steam engine, particularly in his Pen-y-Darren locomotive.
What does the steam boiler do?
Boils water to create high pressure steam.
What is flashsteam?
Flash steam is steam that is produced when high temperature high pressure water is released to the atmosphere.
What is a high pressure steam engine?
A high-pressure steam engine is a type of heat engine that operates using steam generated at high pressure. This technology improves efficiency by allowing the engine to extract more energy from the steam, leading to greater power output and performance compared to low-pressure steam engines. High-pressure steam engines were pivotal during the Industrial Revolution, powering locomotives, ships, and machinery. They typically feature robust construction to withstand the intense pressures involved in their operation.
What are the pressure limits on a 4 inch pressure reducing valve?
I installed some on high pressure steam and the inlet pressure was 1,500 PSI Super heated steam
What is high pressure and where is it located?
This question is so broadly based there is no way to answer except high pressure is higher than low pressure. High pressure can be found anywhere. The Hot Water in a tea kettle , the steam in a steam iron, the compressed air in a compressor.
