I think I know this!

Something like 55 feet per second. Real fast!
Temperature...I dunno, maybe 215, 220?
What do I win??? A book contract and the millions that go along with it?

Speed of steam

Steam travels at zero speed unless there is a pressure differential or driving force. Temp is 215 F if the one psi is gauge pressure.
