Depends on the temperature of the thing you want to cool down.
If it's warmer than the steam, then steam will cool it to the temperature of the steam. If it's already cooler than the steam, then steam can't cool it.
Condensation and liquid water result from cooling steam.
The steam that comes out of nuclear cooling towers is not radioactive. It is produced from the water that is used to cool the reactor, and any radioactive materials would remain inside the reactor containment building and not be released into the environment.
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.
This depends on the temperature.
A flow diagram of a steam condenser typically illustrates the process of condensing steam into water for reuse in a steam cycle. The diagram shows steam entering the condenser, where it comes into contact with cooling water, leading to heat exchange that cools the steam. As the steam condenses, it transforms into liquid water, which is then collected and often pumped back into the boiler. The cooling water, having absorbed the heat, is usually expelled or recycled back to a cooling system.
Cooling system leak or engine overheating and steam escaping from the radiator cap.Cooling system leak or engine overheating and steam escaping from the radiator cap.
None - the emissions from a cooling tower is nothing more than steam.
The process of heating water into steam and then cooling it to purify it is called distillation. During distillation, water is heated until it turns into steam, leaving impurities behind. The steam is then cooled and condensed back into purified water.
The steam generated in a nuclear reactor is used to turn a turbine, which in turn drives a generator to produce electricity. After passing through the turbine, the steam is condensed back into water in the condenser before being pumped back to the reactor as part of the cooling loop.
Water is not a fuel as H2O is essentially the ash of a combustion process. Water may be used as a heat transfer medium (steam or cooling) or a physical energy source (hydraulic turbines) but not as a fuel.
Some of the heat is used to produce electricity, the rest is waste and put into the environment. Much of the energy of the heat is lost as the steam passes through the turbines, with the heat being converted to mechanical energy, and then to electrical. This accounts for about 35% to 40% of the energy of the heat, cooling it by the removal of that heat. It would be possible for residual heat to be tapped for conversion into electricity, also, but this is not done in most nuclear reactors. Converting it to electricity would get another 10% or so of the heat of the remaining steam, cooling the steam further. The remainder of the heat is waste. It is dumped into the environment, primarily into the air, by using heat exchangers and cooling towers. In this system, the steam is used to heat water, condensing in the process. The water is then used to heat air in the cooling tower. Another way to get rid of waste heat is to use heat exchangers to heat a nearby body of water, such as a lake, the ocean, or a river. This is usually done only in the summer, when the atmosphere is warm and the cooling towers are not efficient enough to do their work.
Mostly to drive the steam turbine. Smaller amounts may be used for in house tasks like preheating feed water.
