    Heat Jet Steam
AI Thread Summary
A jet of steam can effectively heat drinks by utilizing the latent heat released during condensation. For optimal results, the steam must be produced in a controlled environment, such as a steam generator or boiler, and directed onto the drink. This method is already employed in baby bottle warmers, where steam rapidly heats the contents. Espresso machines also utilize steam to heat water for brewing coffee. Overall, the application of steam jets for heating beverages is both practical and efficient.

hello..i was reading some where that a jet of steam releases latent heat when it condenses.this idea can be used to heat drinks quickly..

i understand that on condensation 1 kg of steam at 100 C should release 2300000 Joules of heat but what should be the conditions for this to happen?what environment.and how can this ACTUALY be used to heat drinks?by blowing jets of steam over jugs of drinks?...
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Steam is used in baby-bottle warmers. Drop a few cc of water on the heating element, rapidly boil the water, heat the bottle. Takes about a minute to raise the temp of 4oz from 35F to 90F. Could easily be scaled up.
 
yeah but how is a jet of steam produced and used to heat drinks?..

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below.

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
