Steam quality is the proportion of saturated steam (vapor) in a saturated condensate (liquid)/steam (vapor) mixture. A steam quality of 0 indicates 100 percent liquid (condensate), while a steam ...

Performed by supplying dry, saturated steam under pressure, moist heat sterilization (or autoclaving) is used in hospitals to sterilize the surfaces of various utensils, such as hollow items or ...

Typically, moist heat sterilization (or autoclaving) is utilized in hospitals for sterilizing the surfaces of various utensils, including hollow items or wrapped goods. The process is performed by ...

AN immense amount of painstaking work is represented by this little volume, which will, we think, be of undoubted use to all physicists and engineers who have to deal with problems involving the ...

Steam distribution from the boiler to the points of end use should occur with minimal loss of energy. However, the total amount of steam distributed (figure 1) never matches the amount of steam coming ...

The word “thermodynamics” conjures up visions of complex mathematics to many people, even some with technical backgrounds. Yet, relatively simple formulas from thermodynamics can be used explain much ...

Valves in production plants are exposed to incredibly hazardous operating conditions each day, which are further magnified by pressurized and erosive wet steam. Proper valve specification and ...
