Saturation can mean that something is something is soaked thoroughly with a liquid such as water.

In scientific use, saturation is the amount of solute in a solution as a percentage of the maximum at that temperature and pressure. "Supersaturation" refers to situations where the solution is more concentrated than the normal maximum, due to temperature or pressure changes.

Is glycerol saturated?

Yes glycerol is saturated in hydrogen. Glycerol is found in both unsaturated and saturated fats and can bond with fatty acids.


How many kinds of steam?

There are three kinds of steam 1) saturated steam, 2)super saturated steam 3) wet steam.


Dry saturated steam is in a semigaseous state?

No. If you refer to the Temperature/ specific entropy (T - s) diagram for steam, the line segment to the right of the critical point (the point of zero gradient) of the curve is called the dry saturated line and the left segment is the satuated vapour line. As self-explanatory as it sounds, dry saturated steam is on the dry saturated line depending on the given temperature or pressure. The quality (dryness fraction) on the dry saturated line is by definition 1, that means there is no portion of it as vapour. Hence it is in a fully gaseous state.


What is saturated and unsaturated logic family?

Saturated and unsaturated logic families refer to the operating states of transistors in digital circuits. In a saturated logic family, transistors are driven into saturation during the "on" state, allowing for faster switching and lower output impedance, which can improve performance but may increase power consumption. In contrast, unsaturated logic families operate in the active region, where transistors are not fully saturated, leading to higher output impedance and slower switching speeds, but typically lower power consumption. Each type has its trade-offs, affecting the design choices in integrated circuits.


Why saturated steam is used in exchangers frequently rather then superheated?

The heat transfer coefficient of superheated steam is poor. Saturated steam has a better heat transfer coefficient, and also most of the heat transferred from steam occurs because of the condensation phase change.
