Steam expansion at turbine lowers its pH. Why?
Steam expansion at turbine lowers its pH. Why?
(OP)
I would like to know why the steam lowers its pH in the process of expansion in turbine equipment? Could someone show me some literature that best explains this phenomenon?

You have sure about that? In your opinion, the pH doesn't lowers in the process of expansion in turbine? Is not it the physiochemical phenomenon in the expansion of steam to reduce its ph?
It's strange that we have a superheated steam at pH of around 8 and its condensate after "condensation turbine", having a condensate with a pH of around 3.
I have no sure about that, because the constants of the steam can vary in the expansion process in the turbine stages: Kp = equilibrium constant in terms of partial pressure and its relationship with Kc = equilibrium constant in terms of concentration? I think it can explain what I'm telling!
