Both water vapor and wet steam contain both contain tiny droplets of water particles(correct me if I'm wrong).Does it mean both water vapor and wet steam are same and one ?
Suspended liquid particles are liquid particles (as the description says), they are not in gaseous form: what you said is a self-contradiction.M.Kalai vanan said:@ russ_watters
The so is wet steam containing suspended liquid particles in gaseous form.Can you please be more specific ?
Yes.M.Kalai vanan said:@ russ_watters
So you say that water that evaporates from open or other sources at atmospheric conditions is water vapor(invisible to human eyes) and as they move upwards they condense to form clouds, containing suspended liquid droplets and is called wet steam.
That's not a stable situation because water vapor can't exist at atomspheric pressure and below saturation (boiling) temperature, but yes, some of it condenses into wet steam...which then also evaporates as it disperses.If water vapor at atmospheric pressure and below saturation temperature (or at saturation temperature and lower pressure) contains suspended liquid droplets it is known as wet steam...
Yes, plain gaseous water is water vapor or dry steam....and if it doesn't contain liquid droplets and only plain gas then it is called water vapor.
Water vapor is the gaseous form of water, while wet steam is a mixture of water vapor and liquid water. Wet steam has a higher moisture content than water vapor and is typically produced when liquid water is heated to its boiling point.
Water vapor is formed when liquid water evaporates into the air. Wet steam is formed when liquid water is heated to its boiling point and the resulting steam contains both water vapor and liquid water droplets.
Water vapor and wet steam play a crucial role in the Earth's water cycle. Water vapor is the main component of the Earth's atmosphere and is responsible for regulating the planet's temperature. Wet steam is also important in the formation of clouds and precipitation.
The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere directly impacts weather patterns. High levels of water vapor can lead to humidity, cloud formation, and potentially heavy precipitation. Low levels of water vapor can result in dry, arid conditions.
Yes, both water vapor and wet steam can be converted back into liquid water through the process of condensation. This occurs when the air cools and can no longer hold as much water vapor, causing it to condense into liquid form.
