31. Superheated steam is defined as steam that is heated above the boiling point at a given pressure.32. Four Babcock & Wilcox or four Foster Wheeler water-tube boilers generated the superheated steam needed for the turbines. 33. A superheated steam system is dangerous. 34. Assault with pressurized, superheated steam in autoclaves that hospitals use to sterilize instruments for surgery barely slows it. 35. This is not generally the case for superheated steam and the ideal gas equation does not really hold. 36. Since high-pressure superheated steam had already proved successful, it was considered the most suitable choice for high power machinery. 37. Superheated steam is a dry gas and therefore used to drive turbines, since water droplets can severely damage turbine blades.38. By using superheated steam the thermal efficiency of a steam engine could be raised by as much as 50 %. 39. Reacting to the catalyst, the propellant turns into high-pressure superheated steam that blasts out two nozzles, providing the lifting thrust. 40. The hot combustion gas leaving the combustion turbine is then directed into a waste heat boiler to generate superheated steam .
