Why does steam rise?
Steam rises because when water is heated to its boiling point, it turns into vapor or steam. This steam is less dense than the surrounding air, so it rises upwards.
What does the head pressure do if the suction pressure rises?
the head pressure will rise
Why does a balloon filled with helium gas rise to a particular height and doesn't rise further?
A balloon filled with helium rises until it reaches a point in the atmosphere where the density of the surrounding air equals the density of the helium inside the balloon. At this point, called buoyant equilibrium, the balloon stops rising because the forces of gravity pulling it down are balanced by the buoyant force pushing it up.
Why do bubbles of gas expand as they rise to the surface of a pond?
Bubbles of gas expand as they rise to the surface of a pond because of decreasing pressure on the gas as it moves upwards. The pressure exerted on the gas by the water decreases as the bubble rises, causing the gas inside the bubble to expand to fill the available space.
How is the boiling point affected in a pressurized boiler system?
For the purpose of this answer let me rephrase your questions to be more definite. As once the steam leave a boiler we can assume it remains in a gaseous state until it energy is absorbed by some load/ demand. How is the boiling point affected in a pressurized boiler? The short answer... As pressure goes up the boiling point goes up. Example... When the fire is lit in the firebox of a boiler we will assume that the pressure is 0 psig. As heat is added by the fire the water will boil at around 212 degrees F, and so long as there is no load to absorb this heat and the firing rate is kept the same the water will continue to change state into steam and the pressure will rise inside the unit. Here is where we see the boiling point rising as the pressure increases. There is a fairly lengthly formula you can run through to calculate this but in the field we use charts called Steam Tables, in this example you would be looking at a Saturated Steam Table. If you looked at this table you would see that at 10 psig the temperature indicates is around 240 degrees. Now for the long formula... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_point#Saturation_temperature_and_pressure
Why does heating a liquid make it rise?
Heated liquid rises because it reaches the boiling point.
How can you increase the boiling point of water apex?
By increasing the air pressure above the water~ Apex :)
What is your understanding of effects of pressure changes on the boiling point of a liquid?
The effects of changing pressure on the boiling point of a liquid is that the water becomes temperature becomes higher. The boiling point will continue to rise depending on the amount of pressure applied.
What does an increase in pressure on the surface of water do to the boiling point?
Increasing pressure on the surface of water raises the boiling point of water. This is because higher pressure traps more heat energy in the liquid, thus requiring a higher temperature to overcome the increased pressure and boil.
What would happen to the boiling point of a substance if the elevation were to rise?
Actually, as you rise in elevation in atmoshpere im assuming, the pressure decreases. This pressure drop will cause the boiling point of anything to rise, therefore requiring more energy to boil.
Why does steam rise?
Steam rises because when water is heated to its boiling point, it turns into vapor or steam. This steam is less dense than the surrounding air, so it rises upwards.
How does boiling point differ from normal boiling point?
The boiling point and normal boiling point are related concepts, but they have specific differences. Boiling Point: The boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the atmospheric pressure, causing the liquid to change into a gas or vapor. At the boiling point, bubbles of vapor form within the liquid and rise to the surface, resulting in a continuous phase change from liquid to gas. Different substances have different boiling points, which can be influenced by factors such as atmospheric pressure and the strength of intermolecular forces within the liquid. Normal Boiling Point: The normal boiling point of a substance is the temperature at which it boils when the atmospheric pressure is at the standard pressure of 1 atmosphere (atm), which is equivalent to 101.325 kilopascals (kPa) or 760 millimeters of mercury (mmHg). This standard pressure is typically found at sea level.
How would the air pressure at the Dead Sea affect the boiling point of water?
The Dead Sea is below mean sea level for the earth; therefore, the pressure at the Dead Sea would be greater than at mean sea level and the boiling point of water would be above 100C.
Boiling point of a liquid?
The boiling point of a liquid is the temperature at which its vapor pressure equals the pressure exerted on it by the surrounding environment, typically atmospheric pressure at sea level. At this temperature, bubbles of vapor form within the liquid and rise to the surface, causing it to boil and change state from a liquid to a gas.
How does impurities in water effect its boiling point?
Depending on what is in it, the boiling point will either rise or fall.
How Does Pressure Affect The boiling points?
The boiling point of an element or a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure surrounding the liquid.Vapour pressure or equilibrium vapour pressure is the pressure of a vapour in thermodynamic equilibrium with its condensed phases in a closed container.The vapor pressure of any substance increases non-linearly with temperature.Suppose we are at the boiling point....As pressure of surroundings increases we need to increase the vapour pressure so as to make the vapour pressure equal to the surrounding pressure...Now, to increase the vapour pressure we will have to increase the temperature....So When presure increase boiling point increases...when it decrease boiling point decreases...
What does the head pressure do if the suction pressure rises?
the head pressure will rise
