Science Editor) STATE COLLEGE (Pa) July If heat Is what you want don't get the (team too hot A teat heater set up in the mechanical engineering laboratory of the Pennsylvania State College showed that superheated steam Is leas efficient than ordinary steam The difference is due to the dry-Uese of the superheated steam The lower temperature steam contains more moisture As explained by Steawrt associate professor of mechanical engfoeerlng the water vapor in the ordinary steam condenses readily agalnrt the side of foe steam pipe As each particle condenses it contracts and pulls new particles Into contact with the pipe From this water the neat paases readily through the metal and outside the In superheated steam every bit of water has been heated well beyond Its condensation point It flows through the pipe like any other gas a layer of slowly moving gas held back by the drag on the surface next to the pipe and then more rapidly -moving-gas toward the center The gas In the outer layers not only tends to give up Its heat more slowly than does the water vapor but acting like a layer of sir It len serves to Insulate the Inner The Penn State heater measure the difference exactly and makes It possible to compare the efficiencies of superheated and ordinary pteam as actually used In Industry Because It does not lore Its heat so readily superheated steam Is hast for transporting heat as Is done from a central power house Per this transmission super-bested steam Is around 15 per cent superior But in transfer of best that Is In giving up Its heat the superheated stuff Is about 1 per cent less efficient than ordinary Steam State Controller Ray I Riley announces the state's first steps to redeem the $19000000 batch of warrants leaned against the hard-pressed general treasury
