Does steam have more energy?
47. Does steam have more energy?
- Superheated steam
- Saturated steam
- Both
- None
Answer: A) Superheated steam
Explanation:
Superheated steam has more energy than saturated steam. The extra energy in superheated steam results from the additional heat applied to saturated steam to raise its temperature over the saturation point; the higher the temperature of superheated steam, the larger the kinetic energy of the steam molecules, and thus the greater the energy content.
