What is the specific heat value of steam?

The specific heat of steam is approximately 2.01 J/g°C (joules per gram per degree Celsius). This value indicates the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of steam by one degree Celsius. It's important to note that the specific heat of steam can vary slightly depending on pressure and temperature conditions.


Does salt affect steam temperature?

No, salt does not affect the temperature of steam. Adding salt to water increases the boiling point of the water, but once the water has turned into steam, the temperature of the steam remains the same.


What is the Temp of 60psi steam?

The temperature of steam at 60 psi (pounds per square inch) is approximately 165°C (329°F). This temperature is derived from steam tables, which relate pressure and temperature for saturated steam. At this pressure, the steam is in a saturated state, meaning it can condense back into water at this temperature.


Does it take more energy as heat to raise the temperature of water by one degree than to raise the temperature of steam by the same amount?

Yes. The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J/g•oC, and the specific heat capacity of steam is 2.010 J/g•oC.


Which has higher temperature steam or water boling in kettle?

Steam. The reason for this is water boils at the temperature of 212 degrees F. Steam can be heated to much higher temperatures than that. Some engines that are water cooled has steam at temperatures of over 700 degrees. Water basically becomes a plasma at this temperature.

How much steam will produce if 1 kg of water used at 170 degree temperature?

The answer will depend on the units for the temperature.


How hot can steam get?

The temperature of steam depends on the pressure of the system. Higher pressure steam can get super hot. Steam at atm is around 212 degree F, like boiling water.


What is temperature of steam from a kettle in degree centigrade?

The temperature of steam from a kettle is typically around 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit) at sea level, which is the boiling point of water.


What is the temperature of water in a steam shower unit?

Different individuals usually shower at different water temperatures. A steam shower unit does not have one water temperature. The temperature of the water in a steam shower unit varies, as the temperature may be controlled by a number of factors. Some of the steam shower units come equipped with a temperature gauge, so the individual may set the temperature to a specific degree.


What will be change in specific heat of superheated steam with the increase of degree of superheat?

This can only be answered accurately using steam tables. However, in general practice, for every 0.47 btu of heat added to 1 lb. of dry steam at atmospheric pressure, the temperature will rise 1 degree fahrenheit.


When throttle a steam valve what happens to volume pressure and superheat?

theoritically degree of supermheat increase but practically no change in temperature.


What temperature should a steam room be?

Between 45 and 50 Degree Celsius, depending on your body and the ability for it to handle the steam. Breathing becomes harder and heart rate goes up!


Is steam hotter than water vapour?

No, steam and water vapor are actually the same substance, which is gaseous water. However, steam is typically used to refer to water vapor that is hot and at a high temperature, while water vapor can be at any temperature.


What is the specific heat capacity of steam 100 degrees Celsius?

The specific heat capacity of steam at 100 degrees Celsius is approximately 2.08 J/g°C. This means it takes 2.08 joules of energy to raise the temperature of 1 gram of steam by 1 degree Celsius at that temperature.


Why do we get a more severe burn from steam at 100 Degree Celsius than from an equal amount Of water at the same temperature?

In order to turn from water to steam, the liquid must absorb a large amount of energy. Even though they may be the same temperature, this extra energy means the steam can cause a more severe burn.


Why not you use steam tracing in sulfur lines instead of steam jacket?

sulfur melting point is minimum 116 degree centigrade, so if you are using LP tracing it is not maintain that uniform temperature and line get solidify, otherwise if you are using MP tracing the temperature is more ,ie > 150 degree centigrade. so > 150 degree centigrade the sulfur viscosity will increase. so LP jacketting is best for sulfur line


Does salt affect steam temperature?
