I'm sorry if this has been discussed before. What I find odd about Newan's documentation is that he notes the boiling point at 99.5 C. He then adds .5 C to that on page two when explaining the outlet under approximately 200 mm or so of water. So he gets 100 C overall and a measured T out of

I don't see how boiling a pot of water and sticking a thermometer somewhere into the swirling flow can possibly be as accurate as calculating it. Depending on the heat source, the pot and the placement of the thermometer you should always find a range of temperatures at least one or two degrees
