Saturation

—1l. The degree of magnetic force which can be permanently imparted -to the core of a magnet; magnetic saturation. 2. In steam engineering, a vapor is said to be saturated when it has a temperature due to its pre ure. It then holds a quantity of moisture in suspension and is not in the condition of a true gas. Also called dry steam and saturated steam. The heat required to generate one pound saturated steam from water at32° F., is as follows: Sensible heat, to raise the water Heat Units from s2 mtOLod oe eNn S Sees SOLD Latent heat, 1, of the formation of steam at 212°= 894.0 2, of expansion against the atmospheric pre ure, 2116.4 lbs. per sq. ft. 26.36 cu. ft. =55,786 foot pounds +778= 71.7 965.7 Total heat above 32° F.......++.1146.6
