Assume the tube is in a room that's 70 degrees and its about 6 inches circumference.

You could force a change through a cooled tube

Not enough info. It depends upon how far up in the tube is the point the temperature falls under the temp necessary to produce steam? If the tube is heated to a certain temp completely the steam may come out of an open tube like a tea kettle spout.

Is this a continous stream or a one shot deal? If it's a one shot deal, it would be almost instantaneous. If it is a stream, assuming you can keep the tube at 70 degrees F, it would go all the way through if the length isn't too long. Now, what's the pressure, that will effect the condensation also. Is the steam superheated steam? That too will effect it.

It has to do with temperature loss, not distance. We don't know the R value of the tube.

Can't be answered unless you know the P.S.I. of the steam.
