The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- In contrast to a subcritical boiler in which steam bubbles form, a supercritical steam generator operates above the critical pressure – 22 megapascals and temperature 374 °C.
- Under these conditions, the liquid water density decreases smoothly with no phase change, becoming indistinguishable from steam.
- The water temperature drops below the critical point as it does work in a high pressure turbine and enters the generator's condenser, resulting in slightly less fuel use.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Supercritical steam generator article was read about 19,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 55 and blocks with 25: each hit it takes is cut by 10 %.
