Steam is water in the gas phase. It is commonly formed by boiling or evaporating water. Steam that is saturated or superheated is invisible; however, "steam" often refers to wet steam, the visible mist or aerosol of water droplets formed as water vapour condenses.. The enthalpy of vaporization is the energy required to turn water into the gaseous form when it increases in volume by 1,700 times ...

عرض المزيدHydration involves many reactions, often occurring at the same time. As the reactions proceed, the products of the cement hydration process gradually bond together the individual sand and gravel particles and other components of the concrete to form a solid mass. Reaction: Cement chemist notation: C 3 S + H → CSH + CH
عرض المزيدConcrete hardens as a result of the chemical reaction between cement and water (known as hydration, this produces heat and is called the heat of hydration). For every pound (or kilogram or any unit of weight) of cement, about pounds (or kg or corresponding unit) of water is needed to fully complete hydration reactions.
عرض المزيدThe main reaction product phase is an amorphous or at best poorly crystalline calcium silicate hydrate gel, produced via a hydration reaction and denoted CSH (in cement chemistry notation, C=CaO, H=H 2 O, S=SiO 2, F=Fe 2 O 3, A=Al 2 O 3, S=SO 3).
