hi all! thanks for you replies! as for the feedwater corroding the boiler, since it's a closed system, pure (enough) water can be used. i guess it's much cheaper to supply pure water rather than to cause damage to boilers. as for nihilist's question, indeed the steam is used to drive the...

with all due respect, I'm not asking for someone to hand me a complete design ready for use. for that i WILL hire an engineer. what I'm asking for is some guidance. surely an engineer familiar with steam mechanics can name a method he thinks is good for high volume high pressure. is that not...

Hi all! i'm trying to figure out what method would be the cheapest to create steam at high pressure with. ideally, the source of energy for the process would be electricity, as the facility is not intended to have it's own power generation capabilities. the mechanical use of the steam will be to...

first of all, klimatos, I like Serena, Q_Goest and klimatos again, thank you all for your reply and the warm welcome! i knew physicists party hard, now i know they also party well. :-) let me zoom out and give you a wider picture. i need to pressurize 1 cubic meter of liquid from STP to...

hi all! i'm trying to figure out how much water i need to heat and to what temperature, to end up with 1 cubic meter of steam at 70atm. i used the calculator found here: http://www.efunda.com/materials/water/steamtable_sat.cfm i punched in 70atm, and got the following data: Temperature...
