What is steam in thermodynamics?

Saturated steam is gas-phase water in equilibrium with liquid water at the same temperature and pressure. If the temperature is above the saturation point and/or the pressure is below the saturation pressure, the steam is "superheated steam". In either case it is a gas. There are some conventions where saturated steam along with some fraction of liquid water in equilibrium with it is still referred to as steam even if not all of it is gas, as long as at least some of it is gas.


What does CASE stands for related to agriculture?

It doesn't stand for anything. Case is not an acronym, it is just a company name for a farm machinery dealership just like that of John Deere, New Holland, Massey Ferguson, etc. However, the name Case IH stands for Case International Harvesters. The name "Case" comes from the man who founded the Case company, Jerome Increase Case. Case became Case IH when International Harvester company merged with Case a number of years later.Another vague possibility is the Clean Air, Sustainable Environment initiative.


How can you cool down steam?

Just like any other substance, steam cools on contact with anything around it that'scooler. In the case of steam ... rising, let's say, from something on the stove ... it'scooled by the air it passes through, and by anything else it drifts past, such as thecool pots elsewhere on the stove, or the walls and ceiling of the kitchen.BUT ... if you're thinking about cooling some steam enough so that you can hold it inyour hand, then forget about it. Remember that water turns to steam when you heatit to 212 degrees. It works exactly the same in the other direction ... as soon as youcool some steam down below 212 degrees, it turns to water !


What is steam power made from?

Steam power could be described as pressure. Water heated above the boiling point turns to steam and the molecules move very rapidly and want to separate. If the water is in an enclosed area, the pressure will increase. This pressure can be used to move components of an engine that generates electricity. Generally, steam power is used to generate electricity or in the case of old railroad engines, it was used to actually push the train forward. Generally steam power isn't very efficient because you need an extreme source of heat to bring the water to boiling.
