🔍 Key Concepts

• steam quality (amount of moisture in steam) and how droplets affect metal surfaces at high velocity • difference between wet, saturated, and superheated steam in a piping system • how temperature above or at saturation point changes condensation inside the line

💭 Think About

• Which type of steam contains liquid water droplets moving at high velocity, and how would that impact erosion of elbows, valves, and turbine blades? • At a fixed pressure, which steam condition will have the least entrained moisture and therefore the least mechanical scouring action on metal surfaces? • Think about the phase diagram: at a given pressure, where is the steam that is just dry, and where is the steam that is hotter than that point?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which option represents steam with no entrained liquid droplets at the given pressure • Check which term correctly means steam exactly at its boiling point for that pressure, versus steam heated beyond that temperature • Confirm which forms (if any) are likely to cause two‑phase flow (liquid + vapor) and thus increased erosion
