hi guys can you tell,
how to know if steam is saturated or superheated?

Cool it a little, and see if you get any condensation.zorroz said:hi guys can you tell,

Saturation in thermodynamics refers to a state where a substance is in equilibrium between its liquid and vapor phases. This means that the substance exists in both liquid and vapor form at the same temperature and pressure.
Saturation pressure is determined by the temperature and properties of a substance. It can be found by using thermodynamic tables or equations specific to the substance.
Saturation is important in thermodynamics because it helps us understand how substances behave under different conditions. It also plays a crucial role in processes such as phase changes and heat transfer.
Saturation refers to a state where a substance is at the boiling point and exists in both liquid and vapor form, while superheated vapor is a state where the substance is entirely in the vapor phase and at a temperature higher than its boiling point.
Saturation plays a crucial role in the performance of a refrigeration system as it determines the boiling point of the refrigerant and the temperature at which heat is absorbed from the surrounding environment. If the refrigerant is not at saturation, the system may not function properly.
