Disturbance Or Correction or K Factor in steam blowing in Power Plants is the ratio of Drag created during steam blowing to the drag occurring during Maximum Continuous Rating.

Equation of disturbance factor K is shown as below: K=ΔP1/ΔP2

ΔP1=PD1-PS1;ΔP2=PD2-PS2

ΔP1:Difference pressure of steam drum and corresponding super heater during steam blowing-out.

ΔP2: Difference pressure of steam drum and corresponding super heater in normal operation of boiler

What does enpanding mean?

Assuming you meant expanding, which means growing larger. Blowing up a balloon, for instance, causes the balloon to expand.


Which is better wet steam or dry steam?

If by dry steam you mean superheated steam then dry steam because it has a higher calorific value


What exactly does a steam mop mean?

A steam mop is a mop that has a built in steamer applicator at the base of the mop, allowing it to produce steam that is discharged onto the mopping surface as you clean, loostening up any impediments to allow for a cleaner floor.


What does the term steam powered mean?

Steam powered literally means powered by steam. In 1712 Thomas Newcomen developed the first steam engine in which steam is let into a cylinder, then condensed, the resulting vacuum pulling the piston into the cylinder. James Watt improved on the design by adding a separate condenser. Richard Trevithick pioneered high pressure steam, where steam under pressure forces the piston up the cylinder rather than relying on atmospheric pressure to push it into the cylinder as in Newcomen's engines. Sir Charles Parsons brought steam power into the modern era with his invention of the steam turbine in 1884.


What does steam engine mean?

A steam engine is a type of heat engine that converts the energy stored in steam into mechanical work. It operates by heating water in a boiler to produce steam, which then expands and pushes against a piston or turns a turbine. This technology was pivotal during the Industrial Revolution, powering locomotives, ships, and machinery. Steam engines played a crucial role in transforming industries and transportation systems.
