    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    So I don’t have special equipment like high speed camera, but I think it’s just the air circulating really quickly, like speculated before. Thank you for you answers.

    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    Yes the instrument for the measurement is for a pressure below 1 atm and the device is supposed to have a depression at that point.

    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    Yeah, that is what happened. I posed the questioned because I was surprised of what I saw and I had two possible explanations in mind: - there is a phenomenon I am not aware of that can explain this and an expert might quickly direct me to it; - the steam and air are mixing fast enough to look...

    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    I know I should say this. But how am I the thin skinned when the old racist came out raging about the imaginary scenario he painted in his mind. I am sorry about drip feeding information, but I was thinking that I was just ignorant about this phenomenon and it was more obvious to explain for an...

    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    I am working on the board for control of the device, so this is more of a curiosity of mine. The day after tomorrow I should be able to check more closely, so I’ll check if your answer can be it, maybe a coworker of mine might come up with the answer

    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    That is something, obviously reported. The funny thing is that I am not from a third world country and I didn’t receive the right answer. Please know a person from a first world country is laughing at you. I guess you didn’t know that not everyone in the West uses the imperial system. P.s. I...

    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    The valve is 1 cm in diameter, the steam is about 60% of the volume. I think it’s caused by a turbulent motion, but I don’t know how likely it is

    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    The volume is 1.2 dm3. The valve is opened with an ECU very quickly. I am not allowed to show pictures or technical material. I thought I was simply unaware of a phenomenon related to steam at low pressure to cause this effect, so I would have been satisfied with a general answer in order to...

    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    It’s a depression since 0.5 bar is less than 1 atm. the temperature is the boiling temperature for water at 0.5 bar, about 82 C. A condescending comment after a wrong answer isn’t what I was expecting.

    Steam from a low pressure vessel

    Hello, I have a vessel with steam and water at around 0.5 bar. When I open the valve between the top of this container and the exterior that is air at atmospheric pressure I see a lot of steam coming out. I was expecting the air to fill the vessel, so why is the steam streaming out if it’s at...
