Gas Pressure Steam Temperature Water

AI Thread Summary

The discussion centers on the process of producing water by reacting steam with red hot coal or carbon, known as water gas reaction. The necessary pressure and temperature levels for this reaction are critical for effective water production. The Polish Wikipedia provides specific parameters for these conditions, while the English version lacks detailed information. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the thermodynamic principles involved in the reaction to optimize water production from steam and carbon.

Thanks, I didn't know this particular name.

Funny, Polish wikipedia gives the parameters, while English doesn't.

Thread 'Humidity of a saturated NaCl solution with anticaking additive'

I want to test a humidity sensor with one or more saturated salt solutions. The table salt that I have on hand contains one of two anticaking agents, calcium silicate or sodium aluminosilicate. Will the presence of either of these additives (or iodine for that matter) significantly affect the equilibrium humidity? I searched and all the how-to-do-it guides did not address this question. One research paper I found reported that at 1.5% w/w calcium silicate increased the deliquescent point by...
