    Why do engineers often use superheated steam to transfer heat?

    Question #72320. Asked by kaung30. (Nov 15 06 3:16 AM)

    		They do if it's available onsite, but it can cause quite a few problems. It's not the best means of transferring heat - saturated steam is better for this purpose - but if superheated steam is there, they use it.
