saturated vapor
31Saturated steam — Steam Steam (st[=e]m), n. [OE. stem, steem, vapor, flame, AS. ste[ a]m vapor, smoke, odor; akin to D. stoom steam, perhaps originally, a pillar, or something rising like a pillar; cf. Gr. sty ein to erect, sty^los a pillar, and E. stand.] 1. The… …
32saturated water pressure — The pressure exerted by a column of air saturated with water vapor …
33saturated steam — noun 1. : water vapor in equilibrium with liquid water at or above the normal boiling point 2. : wet steam …
34Saturation vapor curve — The saturation vapor curve usually states for the separation curve between the two phase state and the vapor state in the T s thermodynamic diagram. When used in a power cycle, the fluid expansion depends strongly on the nature of this saturation …
35Dynamic vapor sorption — (DVS) is a gravimetric technique that measures how quickly and how much of a solvent is absorbed by a sample: such as a dry powder absorbing water. It does this by varying the vapor concentration surrounding the sample and measuring the change in …
36Relative humidity — is a measurement of the amount of water vapor that exists in a gaseous mixture of air and water. Estimating relative humidity The relative humidity of an air water vapor mixture can be estimated if both the temperature ( T ) and the dew point… …
37Boiling point — This article is about the boiling point of liquids. For other uses, see Boiling point (disambiguation). The boiling point of an element or a substance is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid equals the environmental pressure… …
38Steam turbine — A rotor of a modern steam turbine, used in a power plant A steam turbine is a mechanical device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam, and converts it into rotary motion. Its modern manifestation was invented by Sir Charles Parsons… …
39Humidity — is the amount of water vapor in the air. In daily language the term humidity is normally taken to mean relative humidity. Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in a parcel of air to the saturated vapor… …
40Rankine cycle — The Rankine cycle is a thermodynamic cycle which converts heat into work. The heat is supplied externally to a closed loop, which usually uses water as the working fluid. This cycle generates about 80% of all electric power used throughout the… …
