Best Answer

You can turn steam back into water by condensing it, condensation is a process which changes a gas into water.

How steam turn in to water?

Allow the steam to cool down and it will turn back to water.


How water in the boiling kettle turns into steam and turns back into water again?

first its the heat boils the water then if you turn off the heat it starts cooling down that's what happensAnother AnswerAll matter exists in one of three states; Solid, Liquid, or Gas. Steam is waters' gaseous state. Steam is invisible. The cloudy puffs you see is water condensing back into liquid state. The steam is condensing because it is cooler out in the ambient air.


What happens to the steam after it has been used in a coal or oil-fired power station?

Once the steam has been used to turn the turbines it is then cooled by pipes containing cool water, from somewhere else, as they pass through the steam. Then the steam (which is now water after being cooled) returns back to the boiler to be turned into steam again, so it can begin the whole process again. Different water cannot replace the used steam, it has to be condensed back to water, because only purified water can be used to turn the turbines, and it is too expensive to keep purifying more and more water. The steam has to be cooled and returned to water somewhere away from the turbines, as even one droplet of water could damage them, due to their fast movement and delicacy, despite being big. If you got this question from the AQA GCSE science text book (where i got it from!) then the diagram (on page 266) is helpful, but not that detailed.


How is water is used in nuclear power generation?

Water is used to transfer heat from the nuclear fuel in the reactor to the steam generators where it transfers heat to the secondary water to make steam. The steam is then used to turn turbines. Water from an external source is also used to condense the steam from the turbine exhaust, and this water is then returned to the steam generators to continue the cycle.


What is BWR of nuclear energy?

BWR = Boiling Water Reactor. In this type a certain proportion of the reactor coolant water is allowed to turn to steam (unlike in a PWR), this steam is separated out from the water after the reactor outlet and passes directly to the steam turbine.

Can you turn steam back into water again?

yes. cool the air and the water will condense.

I would assume trap it, and cool it back down


Can water vapour be turned back into liquid water?

Yes water vapour or steam can be reverted back to water through the process known as condensing. If the steam is collected and cooled it will turn to water droplets that can be collected as water.


What happens when steam hits a cold surface?

It really depends on the temperature of the steam and temperature of the cold surface. 250 degree steam hitting a 50 or 60 degree surface will just turn back into water and droplets can be seen almost immediately. 1000+ degree steam hitting a frozen surface may cause a loud bang and eventually turn back into water.


What must you do to make steam into water?

Capture it in a container with a lid and let set at room temperature. It will eventually turn back into a liquid if you have enough steam


Does electricity is made by water?

You use flowing water to turn a turbine. Or you heat water and turn it into steam which is used to turn a turbine.You use flowing water to turn a turbine. Or you heat water and turn it into steam which is used to turn a turbine.
