SUMMARY
To generate steam at 2 bar pressure and 403 K with a mass flow rate of 0.0123 kg/s, a positive displacement pump is recommended to push cold water through a heated tube. The tube should be maintained at 403 K using an electrically heated oven controlled by a thermostat. This method eliminates the need for steam storage, enhancing safety and efficiency. The pressure can be regulated by controlling the steam release rate.
