Water is heated to produce steam. The steam is used to power the engine. The power from the engine does the work or powers other instruments that do the work.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of change occurs when water turns to steam?
evaporation.
What occurs in a steam engine?
Water is heated to produce steam. The steam is used to power the engine. The power from the engine does the work or powers other instruments that do the work.
Why saturated steam is used in exchangers frequently rather then superheated?
The heat transfer coefficient of superheated steam is poor. Saturated steam has a better heat transfer coefficient, and also most of the heat transferred from steam occurs because of the condensation phase change.
What is vaporization that occurs below the liquids surface at its boiling point?
Water as steam racing towards the surface
What is geyser and when does it occur?
The geyser occurs when pressure builds up underground and forces a blast of steam and water
When is steam produced?
Steam is produced whenever water boils, which occurs at 100 degrees Celsius at standard pressure and temperature (boiling point changes at altitudes because of the pressure change, remember).
What is an example of matter that has gone through a physical change only?
A good example of a simple Physical Change occurs in a tea pot. The hot, liquid water boils and goes off as steam. Steam is still water (no chemical change,) but is now a gas.
When energy transformation most likely occurs in a steam iron?
Energy transformation in a steam iron occurs when electrical energy is converted to thermal energy in the heating element. This thermal energy is then transferred to the water in the iron's reservoir, causing it to evaporate and turn into steam. The steam, in turn, transfers heat energy to the fabric being ironed, enabling the smoothing process.
Scientific name for steam to water?
Actually steam is water. Just tiny tiny droplets of water. But the answer I think you're looking for is condensation which is the process of water vapor (not steam) which is a gas cools down and condenses into water.
What is it called when water turns to steam?
When water turns to steam, it is called evaporation. This occurs when water reaches its boiling point and changes from a liquid to a gas.
What is steam to ice called?
The process of steam turning into ice is called deposition. It occurs when water vapor cools down and changes directly into solid ice without passing through the liquid state.
What energy transfers take place in the steam engine?
In a steam engine, energy transfer occurs from the burning fuel (such as coal or wood) to water, which boils and turns into steam. The high-pressure steam then transfers its energy to the engine's pistons, causing them to move and power the machinery. Finally, the steam releases its energy to the surrounding environment as it cools back down to water, completing the cycle.
