What is the principle of steam condensation? Thank you!
Steam condenses and condenses into water, becoming condensate.
During the transportation process, steam will partially condense into condensed water due to a drop in temperature or pressure.
During the transportation or use process, superheated steam releases energy outwards and the temperature drops! When the temperature drops to the saturation temperature, a large amount of latent heat (also called evaporation enthalpy) is released. When this energy is released, the steam condenses into water!
I feel something is wrong with what the 3rd floor said. Steam will not condense into water when the pressure is reduced (because the steam is equivalent to overheating at this time)! I also agree with the 4th floor’s opinion!
