How do you calculate conversion of steam to condensate?

To calculate the conversion of steam to condensate, you can use the formula: Steam Converted to Condensate = Steam Inlet - Steam Outlet This formula subtracts the amount of steam leaving the system (Steam Outlet) from the amount of steam entering the system (Steam Inlet) to determine the amount of steam that has been converted to condensate.


How do you can use steam condensate water as deminralized water?

Steam condensate water can be used as demineralized water by passing it through a demineralization system, such as ion exchange or reverse osmosis, to remove any remaining impurities. This process helps to further purify the steam condensate water, making it suitable for various industrial applications where demineralized water is required. It's important to monitor the quality of the treated water to ensure it meets the specific requirements of the intended application.


Difference between steam and water vapor?

In hydro distillation, water is added with raw plant material and boiled to give steam. In steam distillation, steam is passed through a chamber that contains raw materials. In hydro distillation, an hydro machine is used to capture the stream which is further condensed. Whereas the steam is condensed by flowing into a chilled condensed chamber.


Is steam a irreversible change?

No it is not. It's a phase change. Ice = solid water. Water = liquid water. Steam = gas water.The change from one phase to another does not change the identity of the substance, simply it's form.It you were to boil a pot of water, and hold a lid or something above the pot, you'd notice that as the steam rises, it collects on the lid. This is condensation (gas to liquid), the reversal of boiling. The gas (steam) is cooled, changing to a liquid state.If you still don't understand, google "phase change" and you'll find something.


How does a steam iron work what components does it contain?

An electric iron is merely a resistance element built into a casting (normally aluminum) - the soleplate. A steam iron works by facilitating the controlled release of water onto the heated soleplate. As you know, this happens by pressing a button on top of the iron handpiece. When the button is pressed it opens a 'tapered needle valve' which then releases water from a water reservoir. This water slowly dribbles onto the soleplate. The soleplate will have been treated with a suitable surface treatment (that affects the surface tension of the water) causing it to instantly vaporize, which is the steam that is then vented through the small holes you can see in the soleplate.

Why steam trap is used in piping?

Steam is produced in Boilers of suitable design depending upon the requirement. Due to heat loss in the system due to various reasons steam is likely to lose the heat and slowly condense in to water. Some Equipments using the steam are not suitable to accept steam with water contents. Hence we have to prevent the condensate ( water) from entering such system/equipments. To do this we use a product called Steam Trap. Steam traps are designed for retaining the steam alone ( as clear from the name) and allow only the water to exit the system through suitable drain piping. This safeguards the system/equipments using the steam ...


How much steam is made on a Navy ship?

It depends on the ship in question. Steam is often used for things other than just propulsion. It is sometime used to heat a ship and to heat hot water. Nuclear and steam vessels run their power on steam.


What does SS mean on yachts?

"SS stands for Steam Ship for commercial or private vessels that are under power. Vessels that are gasoline or diesel powered are marked "MV", or Motor Vessel.


What is a steamboat?

A steamboat uses a steam engine similar to those on a steam locomotive. An external wood or coal fire heats water in a boiler, and the pressure of its expansion into steam is used to turn a shaft that is connected to paddlewheels, or to a propeller blade. Steamboats were the first alternative to sailing vessels, and replaced them as the major form of marine vessels. Modern steam turbines (invented in 1884) continue to be used for the generation of electricity worldwide.


How did the navy use nuclear power?

The Navy uses Nuclear Power to create steam. Steam is then used to power steam turbines, which in turn power the ship's screws and generators. The US Navy has steam plants, gas turbines, diesel and nuclear powered vessels.

Does a nuclear power plant let out steam?

Any steam you see from a nuclear plant is not from the reactor primary circuit, but as on any steam power station, whether nuclear or fossil fired, there are times when steam has to be released. This is particularly during start up from cold when steam lines have to be purged and warmed through before the steam at the turbine inlet is of good enough quality to start it rolling. Another circumstance when steam will be blown off is if the turbine suddenly trips out or the outgoing grid connection is lost for some reason, then there is a sudden loss of the requirement for the steam being produced from the nuclear plant and it has to be blown off temporarily via pressure reducing safety valves.
