Superheated Water Vapor – What is superheated water vapor?

Superheated Water Vapor -water vapor with a temperature higher than the temperature of saturated steam at the same pressure is called superheated steam.

The difference between the temperature of superheated steam and the temperature of saturated steam at the same pressure is called the degree of superheating.

The density of superheated steam is lower than the density of saturated steam because the specific volume of superheated steam is greater than the specific volume of saturated steam.

Superheated steam does not contain water vapor, since the moisture in the steam is completely converted to steam in the steam heater.

The temperature of superheated steam does not depend on pressure, but rather on the heat received by the superheater.

When superheated steam cools, its temperature will initially drop to a temperature equal to the temperature of saturated steam at the same pressure, and only then can condensation begin.
