steamemitting
Steamemitting describes the release of water vapor from a source into the surrounding environment. The term covers both natural phenomena and engineered processes in which liquid water is converted to steam and escapes, often visible as a white or translucent plume. Steam emission results from heating water to its boiling point or from the escape of hot steam from pressurized systems.
In natural settings, steam emissions occur at geothermal features such as fumaroles, hot springs, and volcanoes,
Physically, the emission of hot steam can condense into visible clouds as it cools, but highly superheated
Safety considerations emphasize shielding, proper valve design, leak monitoring, and clear warning. Measurement of steam emissions
