That is simple and cheap. He does not need a pump. When you open a faucet and leave it alone you get pretty much the same pressure and flow rate all day long. Using oil or some other heat transfer fluid would be expensive, complicated and messy. You have to have pumps and tanks and so on.
I think you are exaggerating the difficulties of measuring the enthalpy of steam. With the proper instruments and techniques it is not difficult at all. You just have to measure steam quality. Or, as we have discussed here, condense the steam by sparging, or use a heat exchanger. What's the big deal? Steam was a problem with Rossi because he *made it into* a problem. Hot water would have been a problem with him. He would have found a way to screw up that measurement as well. - Jed
