Sure. That sounds plausible. Add to that, if the thermocouples are reading just a little high, you have boiling hot water instead of steam. Industrial-grade thermocouples or dial thermometers are often a little bit off. Problems like this would lead Rossi to overestimate enthalpy by a large margin. - Jed
