It is probley just the engine coolant burning that ran into the exhaust and muffler. Just let it run awhile and burn it out.
If it don't stop steaming after about 30 mins. Then you have done something wrong when putting it back together. Are you changed the wrong head.
Start the engine with the radiator cap left off and keep watching in the rad while the engine is running, there should be no bubbling coming from the radiator. If there is then you still have a bad head are head gasket. Radiator should build NO pressure in it while the engine is running.

Why turbine blades are largenr in size at exhaust end?
Because the steam expands as it passes through the turbine. The steam velocity through the turbine is constant from steam chest to exhaust hood (though it changes in each stage). Thus, the space needed for the steam to expand needs to be expanded to correspond with that expansion of the steam.
What is vaccume breaker in steam turbine?
