How does lightning cause the loud boom heard durig a thunderstorm?

This boom, called thunder, is the result of lightning instantly superheating the air to tens of thousands of degrees. The air expands rapidly as a result, generating a shockwave.


Why are boiling stones used in esterification?

Boiling chips provide a surface on which vapor bubbles can form. This bubble formation helps prevent superheating and bumping of the liquid.


Why are boiling chips placed in distilling flask during distillation?

Boiling chips are added to the distilling flask to prevent superheating and bumping during the distillation process. The chips provide nucleation sites for bubbles to form more uniformly, promoting a smooth boiling process and preventing sudden bursts of vapor that could result in loss of sample or contamination of the distillate.


Why is important to hold a flask at an angle while being heated?

Holding a flask at an angle while heating allows for better heat distribution and prevents localized hot spots that could cause the solution to boil over or splatter. It also helps to prevent superheating of the liquid and reduces the risk of flask breakage due to sudden boiling.


What is the purpose of adding anti-bumping granules into sea water?

Anti-bumping granules are added to seawater to promote even boiling and prevent superheating. They create nucleation sites that facilitate the formation of bubbles, reducing the risk of sudden, violent boiling or bumping. This helps maintain a controlled and efficient boiling process, ensuring safety and stability during experiments or processes involving seawater.

What is superheating and how can a person prevent it?

Superheating means to heat something above its boiling point without the formation of bubbles of vapor (without it actually boiling). It can be prevented by placing something into what you are trying to cook to diffuse its energy.


How superheating of steam improves the efficiency of thermal power plant?

The amount of energy transferred from the steam is a function of the temperature difference between the input and output of the turbine. Also, superheating the steam ensures that there are no water molecules that can damage the turbine blades.

What force causes the superheating of the corona?

The main force responsible for the superheating of the corona is thought to be magnetic reconnection, where magnetic field lines in the Sun's atmosphere break and reconnect, releasing large amounts of energy as heat. This process accelerates particles and heats the corona to millions of degrees Celsius.

Is magma a gas?

No, magma is just molten rock that lies under the Earth's Crust (when outside of the Crust it is lava). What you are thinking of is probably plasma, which can be formed by superheating gas.


How sailed the Titanic?

Titanic's propulsion was steam. Stokers, or firemen, shoveled coal into furnaces, superheating the water which made steam to turn the propellers. Oil wasn't used until after the Great World War.

Explain the important features of high pressure boilers used in power plants?

1) Methods of circulation of water and Steam 2) Arrangement of tubing and boiler drum 3) Methods of superheating the steam 4) water softening plant


Why attemperation given between sh1 and sh2?

I assume that you are asking "Why is the attemperation water spray placed between the primary superheater and the secondary superheater?" This gives time for all the spray water to evaporate and still be effective at de-superheating, or attemperating.
