PROPERTIES OF STEAM
Steam is water vapor which exists in the vaporous condition because sufficient heat has been added to the water to supply the latent heat of evaporation and change the liquid into vapor. This change in state takes place at a definite and constant temperature which is determined solely by the pressure of the steam. The volume of a pound of steam is the specific volume which decreases as the pressure increases. The reciprocal of this, or the weight of steam per cubic foot, is the density. (See Table 7.)
Steani which is in contact with the water from which it was generated is known as saturated steam. If it contains no actual water in the form of mist or priming, it is called dry saturated steam.'If this be heated and the pressure maintained the same as when it was vaporized, its temperature will increase and it will become superheated, that is, its temperature will be higher than that of saturated steam af the same pressure.
PROPERTIES OF WATER
Composition of Water. Water is a chemical compound (H20) formed by the union of two volumes of hydrogen and one volume of oxygen, or two parts by weight of hydrogen and 16 parts by weight of oxygen.
Density of Water. Water has its greatest density at 39.2 F, and it' expands when heated or cooled from this temperature. At 62 F a U. S. gallon of 231 cu in. of water weighs approximately 8J/3 lb, and a cubic foot ^ of water is equal to 7.48 gal. The specific volume of water depends on the temperature and it is always the reciprocal of its density. (See Table 8.)
Water Pressures. Pressures are often stated in feet or inches of water column. At 62 F, with h equal to the head in feet, the pressure of a column of water is 62.383ft lb per square foot, or 0.433ft lb per square inch. A column of water 2.309 ft (27.71 in.) high exerts a pressure of one pound per square inch at 62 F.
Boiling Point of Water. The boiling point of "water varies with the: pressure; it is lower at higher altitudes. A change in pressure will always be accompanied by a change in the boiling point, and there will be a cor responding change in the latent heat of evaporation. These values are given in Table 7.
Specific Heat. The specific heat of water, or the amount of heat (Btu) required to raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree Fahren heit, varies with the temperature, but it is commonly assumed to be unity at all temperatures. Steam tables are based on exact values, however. The specific heat of ice at 32 F is 0.492 Btu per pound. The ` amount of heat required to raise one pound of water at 32 F through a known temperature interval depends on the average specific heat for the temperature range.
Sensible and Latent Heat. The heat necessary to raise the temperatureof one pound of water from 32 F to the boiling point is known as the heat of the liquid or sensible heat. When more heat is added, the water begins to evaporate and expand at constant temperature until the water, is entirely changed into steam. The heat thus added is known as the latent heat of evaporation.
