what are some chemical or physical properties that are typically measured in a process stream ?

Typically mass flow, pressure and temperature. You might also measure composition of the process stream itself depending on the exact process.

Similar to the answer given by rock.freak667, the parameters usually measured are temperature, pressure and flow rate. Most properties (such as enthalpy, entropy, etc.) are simply functions of the steam temperature.
One important point to add is that the steam quality (dryness fraction) is an important parameter which should be known but cannot, under most circumstances, be measured directly.

I'm not sure what "dryness fraction" means when characterizing steam quality. I can say, however, that the moisture content in a flowing process is simple to measure using microwaves.

I can provide a response to this question. In a process stream, there are various properties that can be measured to monitor and control the process. Some common properties that are measured include temperature, pressure, flow rate, pH, conductivity, turbidity, and concentration of various substances.

Chemical properties that are typically measured in a process stream include the concentration of different chemicals or compounds, such as pH, dissolved oxygen, and specific ions. These measurements can provide valuable information about the composition and reactivity of the process stream.

Physical properties that are commonly measured in a process stream include temperature, pressure, and flow rate. These measurements can help to ensure that the process is running at the desired conditions and can also provide information about the efficiency of the process.

Other properties that may be measured in a process stream include viscosity, density, and color. These properties can be important indicators of the quality and consistency of the process stream.

Overall, the properties that are measured in a process stream will depend on the specific process and the goals of the measurement. However, temperature, pressure, flow rate, and chemical and physical properties are all commonly measured in a process stream to ensure efficient and effective operation.
