Question

Many gyms and health clubs have steam saunas, which are small steam-filled rooms. Traditionally,

steam saunas have a container of heated rocks. A small ladle of water is poured on the rocks in order to

make the steam. Using heat transfer explain how hot rocks can be used to make steam?

Expert Solution

Step 1

Steam saunas is a device to generate the steam at constant rate in a room and this steam can be generated by various means in which we put the water in a container to get heated.

So when we put the water in a heated rock container, the water surface attached to the rock gets heat by the mode of conduction and then this layer transfer heat to the upper layer of the water with the similar mode.

Thus the topmost layer of the water gets heated but is does not have upper adjacent layer of water to transfer heat so it vaporizes and this comes out as a steam to the surroundings.
