The answer will depend on the units for the temperature.
It would take 1 ton of water to create 1 ton of steam.
The answer will depend on the starting temperature of the water. It will also depend on the pressure.
Steam is nothing but a homogeneous mixture of water & air
Steam with a dryness fraction of 0.504 consists of 50.4% steam and 49.6% water.
160 btu's. It takes 1 btu (British Thermal Unit) to change the temperature of 1lb of water 1°. This is referred to as sensible heat. This 1 to 1 ratio does not hold true when changing the state of that water to ice or to steam. Changing the state 1lb of water at 212° to 1lb of steam at 212° you must add 970 btu's and to change 1lb of water at 32° into 1lb of ice at 32° you must add 144 btu's. This is referred to as latent heat.
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated water, or steam?
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.
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.
It really depends on the temperature of the steam and temperature of the cold surface. 250 degree steam hitting a 50 or 60 degree surface will just turn back into water and droplets can be seen almost immediately. 1000+ degree steam hitting a frozen surface may cause a loud bang and eventually turn back into water.
if you are saying 135 Fahrenheit. No such thing as 135 degree steam. 212 at sea level is the beginning of boiling and it will take more than that to produce steam. To produce visible water vapor takes a lot less heat but viruses & bacteria might not be completely killed by water vapor
As the steam comes in contact with the skin, it becomes water, and releases more energy (about 2188 joules per gram) on contact than water at the same temperature.
At normal pressure steam changes to liquid water at 212 degree F.
Liquid. The hottest temperature water can get to is 110c any higher and it turns into a gas (steam)
Steam is a gas stage of water. You can produce steam by heating water to boiling point.
Just evaporate water, and the vapour is steam.
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.
Yes. When the temperature rises in a pot full of water, the water begins to evaporate and create a steam. That's why steam is usually warm.
