What are the advantages of steam heating over electric heating?
ACCORDING TO PHYSICS :- Since the latent heat of vaporisation of Steam is so high as 2268 Joules , thus so as to convert from the Gaseous State to liquid Sate , Steam liberates 2268 J/Kg of heat energy to the Surrounding. In this way it proves more efficient to use Steam than Electricity for heating.
How is heat utilised in the field of science and technology to do various work?
Most often by heating water into steam, or by expanding gasses (internal combustion engines).
