Steam Fundamentals

This webinar is the first in a series of eight presentations that will be run fortnightly over the coming months on the subject of steam.

This event is a broad and basic entry-level presentation, giving a good introduction and overview of the physical properties of steam, why it is widely used as heat transfer media and typical applications.

Hosted by Projex Solutions Ltd; presentation delivered by Spirax Sarco.

Excellent presentation Dan, especially for engineers with limited knowledge of steam systems like me!

Thank you for this really great to understand presentation on steam. Working in paper industry as a Procurement professional, this was helpful to understand.

Thank you for good information. I would like to know more about this content. Can I get the materials (Powerpoint?) used in the video? I need a translation, please.

I love this amazing cockney accent sooo much!

dear sir
pse indicate why heat capacity in steam is approx 50 times of that of water?
for example
water @ 1bar 373K will have hf of 419kJ/kg and steam at same condition has hg of approx 2600kJ/kg?
thermal conductivity k
of water is higher than that of steam
pse explain this in relation to heat exchangers and energy losses
TDS
isnt it the total desolved salts

Well, no. The energy contained in 1 kilogram of steam at 100°C is approximately 2, 257, 000 joules . In contrast, the energy contained in 1 kilogram of water at 100°C is approximately 419, 000 joules . Therefore, 1 kilogram of steam contains approximately 5.4 times more energy than 1 kilogram of water at the same temperature, not 50 like you claim in this lecture!
