What is the difference between a pump machine and a steam machine?
Pump machines work by using an internal pump to force water at a high pressure through the coffee grounds, whereas steam machines work by boiling water to produce steam, which is forced through the grounds. There are advantages and disadvantages to both types of extraction method.
What is a closed loop condensate system?
If I understand what you are asking, you are describing a steam cycle system. First water is pressurized and pumped via a condensate pump (the water is called condensate. This condensate normally goes through a heater to increase efficiency, then is further pressurized by feed pumps. The water (now called Feed Water) is then sent through a control valve and into a steam generator (basically a large tea kettle). The control valve maintains constant water level in the generator within a certain range. The water in the generator is heated by various ways (Oil, Coal, Nuclear, Geothermal or even Solar reflectors). The steam produced is directed to do whatever work the system is designed to do, either heating, electricity generation, propulsion (steam locomotive / Steam powered ship). Once the steam has been used to produce work, it is at a lower temperature and pressure than it was in the generator. This low pressure steam can be directed to the condensate heater (as described above) then to a condenser, or straight to the condenser. The condenser uses various ways to further cool the steam; (water, cooling towers ;those big towers at nuclear power plants) and the resulting condensate is collected to be reused. The reason why it is called a closed loop system is that the water is re-used time and again in a loop. The water is only added to make up for leaks in the system (thus it is called make up water).
What did steam power look like?
Water Vapour
What is the role of gland condenser in steam turbine?
gland condenser is a type of condenser in which steam which is coming from d turbine is used for the heating of demineralised water and then this water is sent to the boiler so boiling of hot water consumes less coal and thus we get benifit of it
Why used hogger and ejector in steam turbine?
A steam turbine condenser equipped with ejectors is usually fitted with two ejectors. The larger of the two is called the hogger and the smaller the huffer. Steam turbines are designed for efficiency and thus attempt to extract as much energy from the steam passing thru as is physically possible. Energy is extracted as both temperature and pressure decrease. The lower the temperature and pressure at the steam turbine's exhaust the more energy can be extracted from the steam. For this reason it is desirable for the steam turbine condenser (the exhaust) to be at the lowest temperature and pressure possible. The hogger, or hogging jet, is a large steam powered ejector that causes the steam condenser to operate under a near perfect vacuum whilst the steam turbine is in the start-up phase. In steady state operation the cooling effect of the condenser cooling water of the steam causes the condenser to operate under a nearly self sustained vacuum. The hogger is necessary in the start-up phase to prevent steam from condensing to water in the final stages of the turbine before the steam flow and cooling effect of the condenser can establish vacuum. The huffer or huffing jet runs continuously whilst the turbine is operating to remove any non-condensable gasses (i.e. air) that might leak into the condenser. It is nearly impossible to perfectly seal a condenser and turbine from air-in leakage. It should be noted that modern, large steam turbines do not employ steam ejectors to establish and maintain condenser vacuum. Modern designs utilize motor driven mechanical vacuum pumps.

How did water powerd factories differ from steam-powerd factories?
A water-powered factory did not create pollution and could only operate near water, but a steam-powered factory did create pollution and could operate anywhere on land

What powered transport before the steam engine?
Before steam engines came into use, travel on land was mostly powered by horse. On water, it was mostly powered by wind.
What makes steam-fired?
When water heats up to the point where it starts to boil, steam will descend from the water. So, water and high temperatures create steam. But, since other liquids also can create steam, I would say that if you boil a common liquid you will get steam.
What did the water powered loom do?
It made cloth. The water was used as a form of power to move the machinery in the loom.
What was a major advantage of steamed-powered factories over water-powered factories?

What important change took place in how factories were powered?
Factories were powered by Steam and smoke which ruined the population from polution....then they were powered by Water which had no polution.
