How do heating and cooling cause physical changes in matter?
Heating and cooling change the state of the matter. For example, at room temperature water is a liquid but if you heated it becomes steam; a gas. If you freeze it it becomes ice; a solid. Hope it helps xx
How is steam produced?
Steam is a gas stage of water. You can produce steam by heating water to boiling point.
How do clouds move if they are a gas without dispersing with the wind like steam?
Clouds are not a gas. They are made up of very small water droplets. That is why the air is so damp when you are in fog. Clouds are moved along by wind, which is caused by a process of air cooling and heating. See the Web Link 'Meteorology' to the left for an explanation.
Does steam from nuclear cooling towers have radioactive elements?
No. The water going through the cooling towers is not in contact with the fuel, often by three levels of separation. The steam is only condensation.
Difference between isothermal and isobaric heating of saturated steam?
Isobaric heating is heating by adding only heat energy while maintaining the same pressure (isobar). Isothermal heating is heating by adding only pressure and no heat energy.

What are the differences of dry steam and radiant systems?
Dry steam systems are a heating and coolingÊsystem that has steam that does not contain water droplets. Radiant systems are where heat and cooling systems where heat is exchanged through convection and conduction.Ê
How is steam used again before it reaches the cooling tower?
the exhaust steam from turbine can be use for boiling and heating of any liquid ,it is also used for cleaning in various industry bec of its high temperature and pressure.
Where does a nuclear power plant need to be?
Close to a cooling source IE the sea, hence why most are on the coast. Cooling turns the dry steam from the turbines back into water and the process restarts.
How do you know what type of heating and cooling system you have?
You look... Do you have ducts, pipes or both? fans, pumps or both? hot air,water or steam? oil, gas,propane or electric?
What you get when steam is cooled?
Condensation and liquid water result from cooling steam.
What is the percent of electricity produced by the process of heating steam to power a turbine in USA?
I can't answer for fossil (high pressure) cycles, but for the Nuclear Steam Supply Cycle (intermediate pressure) the efficiency is about 33%.
Why are steam boilers used in applications requiring a large heating capacity?
A steam boiler is used because they can create a large amount of steams with little space taken up. Steam boilers have a larger capacity while creating a larger amount of steam in the process.
Is a steam heating system more economical than natural gas?
Steam heating is a legacy system left over from previous generations. It's less efficient thant modern heating systems. However it's often not economical to rip out a steam heating system and then replace it.
How is steam produced?
Steam is a gas stage of water. You can produce steam by heating water to boiling point.
What the difference between process piping and utility piping?
Process piping contains the product or piping integral to the process of creating the product. Utility piping is supporting the process but is not integral to the process, typically fresh water, cooling water, steam, condensate
Why do the pipes in a steam heating system need to be insulated?
The pips in a steam heating system need to be insulated to prevent condensation. Condensation can lead to mold and or freezing of the steam pipes in the winter.
