What is bleeding of steam in thermal power plant?

Bleeding of steam means Extracting steam from Turbines for heating the feed-water. Normally, there are High Pressure Heaters & Low Pressure heaters in Condensate cycle. Steam bleed out from the turbine gets into these heaters and heats up the feed-water (generally termed as Sensible Heat Addition). The steam that was bled can be re-used as condensate in Deaerators. Steam Extractions although reduce net work output but helps in overall gain in efficiency in terms of Reduced Fuel Consumption.

What happens when energy is removed from steam?

A boiler produces steam at a high temperature and pressure. It is used to push a piston or a turbine, to produce mechanical energy. The steam coming out can then be used to drive a low-pressure turbine and so on. At the end the steam can be condensed to extract the latent heat, and then the water goes back to the boiler.
