Absorption Distance: distance from the steam outlet until the end of the visible trail

rel. humidity in [%] air temperature, duct

Outlet Example:
given parameters:
rel. humidity, inlet: 40%
rel. humidity, outlet: 55%
air temperature, duct: 23C
air speed: 2,8m/s
nr. of steam lances: 1
duct height: 1,0m
