Questions about pressure and boiling point
Thread Content
Is the temperature corresponding to the saturated vapor pressure the boiling point? For example, if the saturated steam temperature corresponding to a gauge pressure of 0.3 Mpa is 143, then at an atmospheric pressure of 0.1 Mpa, is the boiling point still 143 when the gauge pressure is 0.3 Mpa?
At an atmospheric pressure of 0.1 Mpa, the boiling point at a gauge pressure of 0.3 Mpa is 143. The boiling point corresponds to a saturated vapor pressure that does not match atmospheric pressure
In other words, is the saturation steam temperature corresponding to the saturated vapor pressure the boiling point?
1. The so-called boiling point generally refers to the temperature at which a substance vaporizes under normal pressure (absolute pressure of 1 atmosphere, relative pressure of 0). For example, water has a boiling point of 100°C, which refers to the temperature at which it vaporizes under standard pressure. 2. The boiling point corresponds to the saturated vapor pressure. For example, for water, at 100°C the saturated vapor pressure is 0.101325 MPa (absolute pressure), while at 50°C it is 0.0123518147 MPa (absolute pressure). This value can be calculated using software
Mm-hmm, thank you. Which software can be used?
Using absolute pressure is appropriate, as atmospheric pressure varies from place to place.
