🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between superheated steam and saturated steam in terms of temperature and energy content per pound • How moisture content in steam affects erosion of turbine blades • Why turbine manufacturers often specify a certain degree of superheat for efficient and safe operation

💭 Think About

• Compare the enthalpy (heat energy) of superheated steam versus saturated steam at the same pressure—what changes? • Think about whether saturated steam can contain water droplets and what that does to high-speed turbine blades. • Ask yourself: does making steam superheated increase or decrease the chance of liquid droplets striking the blades?

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify whether superheated steam has more thermal energy per pound than saturated steam at the same pressure. • Check if saturated steam is more likely to carry moisture (liquid droplets) than properly superheated steam. • Confirm whether liquid droplets in the steam flow are a primary cause of erosive wear on turbine blading.
