M1368 - Steam Basics - .2 CEU
Course Syllabus
Steam is a colorless, odorless gas that is created when water vaporizes. Steam is also a useful utility, employed at some point in the manufacture of over 80% of the products made by industry. Steam is further used for comfort heating and power reduction. Steam has several physical properties that make it particularly suitable and economically advantageous for these purposes, and that is what steam basics is all about.
Topics covered include:
- Physics involved in producing steam at atmospheric pressure
- Behavior of steam in pressurized systems and see how the pressure, temperatature, heat content and density of steam (and condensate) are related
- Exploration of steam under pressure by investigating what happens to high pressure condensate when it is "let-down" to a lower pressure
