At sea level and one atmosphere pressure (101KPa) steam boils at 100C (212F) which is called the saturated steam temperature for this pressure. Above this temperature the steam will be superheated. Typical pictures of compact modern steam generators are shown below.
Read MoreTypically boilers of much size would have a steam meter that calculates flow. This is typically a sensor measuring the pressure drop across and orifice. If you don't have that, then you have two options. Option one is mainly for firetube style boi
Read MoreHow Steam Turbines Operate. Operating on similar principles, steam turbines instead use extremely high temperature and highly pressurized steam to extract thermal energy. In the process, water is heated in a boiler to create steam, which is then pumped into the turbine to spin turbine blades. After, the steam is often cooled back into a liquid
Read MoreThe temperature of steam at this atmospheric pressure is the same as the temperature of boiling water at atmosperic pressure, which is 100 deg.C. So long as the imaginary spout remains on our boiler, everything is at atmospheric pressure and its specified temperature.
