    Steam vs water at the same temperature

    At standard atmospheric pressure, usually accepted as 14.7 psi, at 100 deg C. water boils and steam condenses simultaneously, 100 C is the max temperature water can reach at this pressure and it is the minimum temperature that steam can exist at this pressure. Therefore it is possible for steam...
