The Streaming Potential of Steam
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- The streaming potential behavior of dry and wet steam was investigated using a pyrex capillary tube apparatus. The flow of dry steam across the capillary resulted in no measurable streaming potential. For the flow of wet steam, it was discovered that an electrical potential along the capillary tube was generated. This potential was observed to increase with time, and for many cases the potential would build up to values greater than 100 volts. It appeared that the potential build-up resulting from wet steam flow was due to small water slugs passing through the capillary. The average potential build-up for a given time interval was found to increase with pressure drop, but the relationship between average potential and pressure drop was not linear.
