Wet steam

scroll

Mixture of liquid and steam of the same substance in which both are at saturation temperature. If additional heat is added to the wet steam at constant pressure, the temperature remains constant until all liquid is evaporated (saturated steam); it is only at this point that the temperature increases above the saturation temperature (superheated steam).
