What does the prefix atmo mean?
gas, vapor
What is suffix for vapor?
'Ized' is a suffix for vapor, i.e. 'vaporized'.
What is the adjective for vapour?
Vapourous is the adjective related to the word vapour. Adjectives describing vapour include water, mysterious, and eerie.
What another word for gas?
Vapor
How do you use the word vapor in a sentence?
Vapor is a noun. So you use it like a noun. Example: "Water vapors crept out of my antique humidifier."
What happens to a refrigerant when it is above the saturation temperature?
it remains in a vapor state
Why is the superheated vapor from the condenser is higher than the superheated vapor going into the compressor?
becaause it was just compressed by the compressor and is the high side of the system before the tex valve
What is the refrigerant entering the metering or expansion device of a refrigeration system?
superheated vapor
What is a direct expansion evaporator?
Refrigerant enters a direct expansion evaporator as a saturated liquid vapor mix and leaves as a superheated vapor.
Where in the world is the highest percentage of water vapor?
In the natural environment, probably in geysers which, because of their pressure, contain superheated steam.
Is superheated steam suitable for air heaters instead of saturated steam?
No, superheated steam gives off little energy. Most of the heat given off by steam is the latent heat of condensation as it undergoes a phase change from vapor to liquid. Superheated steam could first be "desuperheated" by adding water until it reaches the saturation point, then used for heat transfer processes.

What is meant by degree of superheat?
First of all, the term "superheated" generally refers to a vapor. This explanation refers to superheated vapor only. Superheat is the difference (in degrees of temperature) between a liquid's boiling point and the superheated vapor's actual temperature. For example; at sea level, the boiling point of water is 212ºF. As long as the temperature is 212ºF, you will have both liquid and vapor present. If you continue to add heat to the liquid/vapor mix, all the liquid will eventually become vapor. Additional heat added after no liquid remains will begin to increase the temperature above 212ºF. This resulting vapor is superheated. If you measure the temperature of water vapor to be 220ºF at 1 ATM, the vapor is superheated by 8ºF. The same analysis is true for any liquid/vapor, at any pressure and for any other temperature scale. i.e. R22 refrigerant is "saturated" (meaning both liquid and vapor are present) at 32ºF and 58PSIG. If you measure the pressure of R22 at 58PSIG but measure the temperature at 45ºF, you have measured 13 degrees of superheat. I hope this answer is useful to you. Bama Cracker Degree of superheat is the difference between the superheated temperature and the saturated temperature of the steam .
What is difference between saturated vapor and superheated vapor?
A metal clad heating element 8 mm in diameter and emissivity ɛ = 0.95 is horizontally submerged in a water bath. The surface temperature of the metal is maintained at 250°C under steady state conditions. Estimate the power dissipation per unit length of the heater. Assume the water is exposed to atmospheric pressure and is at a uniform temperature.
What is the definition of geothermal springs?
Geothermal Springs are produced by superheated groundwater pushed to the surface by extreme heat from the Earth's Core. Hope it helps =-D
What is the definition for evaporation in science terms?
evaporation is vaporization: the process of becoming a vapor
What is volutility?
The definition of volutility is "evaporating rapidly" or "passing off easily in the form of vapor."
