Steam - vapour (English spelling)

Japanese: 蒸気 - じょうき(英語表記)vapour
Steam - vapour (English spelling)
Generally, a substance that has a low boiling point and can be liquefied relatively easily becomes a gas. For example, when water and alcohol become vapor, they are called water vapor and alcohol vapor, respectively. Note that the pressure of the vapor phase that is in equilibrium with the liquid phase or solid phase at a certain temperature is called vapor pressure. When steam is rapidly produced in a boiler, there may be small water droplets (liquid phase) floating in the saturated steam, which is called wet steam.

一般に沸点があまり高くなく,比較的容易に液化しうるような物質が気体になったもの。たとえば水,アルコールが蒸気になったものは,それぞれ水蒸気,アルコール蒸気という。なお一定の温度で液相,または固相と平衡にある蒸気相の圧力のことを蒸気圧という。ボイラで急激に水蒸気をつくる場合などには,飽和水蒸気の一部に小さな水粒 (液相) を浮べている場合があるが,このようなものは,湿り蒸気といわれる。
