Difference between steam and water vapor?
In hydro distillation, water is added with raw plant material and boiled to give steam. In steam distillation, steam is passed through a chamber that contains raw materials. In hydro distillation, an hydro machine is used to capture the stream which is further condensed. Whereas the steam is condensed by flowing into a chilled condensed chamber.
What creates steam?
Steam boilers create steam.
How do you calculate MW from a geothermal heat source. We know the well temp?
There is no nice and easy formula to calculate what is being asked. Turbines and generators will have different efficiency curves. Nothing was mentioned about the pressure of the steam in the question. As the temperature and pressure of the steam rise, a pound of steam will contain more energy that can be used by the turbine. In general, though, 20,000 to 25,000 pounds of steam an hour flowing through a plant will give one megawatt of production. It is important to note this is for a power plant. The residential geothermal energy that is being used in houses is not a suitable energy source for power production.
Why are objects never made of magnesium?
because all acid has some kind of reaction with magnesium.
Why steam is used as boiling source in steam distillation?
Otherwise it wouldn't be a STEAM destillation, would it?
What did John Ericsson invent?
propelling steam vessels.
Why do your radiators make so much noise when turned on?
Steam heat normal Hot water perhaps air in lines and need to be purged
What is the collective noun for steam?
There is no specific collective noun for steam engines, in which case any noun suitable for the context will work; for example a collection of steam engines, a display of steam engines, a museum of steam engines, etc.
Robert Fulton and the steam engine?
He was one of the pioneers in fitting steam-engines to vessels, but was also an inventor in the fields of stone-saws and naval engineering.
Why steam trap is used in piping?
Steam is produced in Boilers of suitable design depending upon the requirement. Due to heat loss in the system due to various reasons steam is likely to lose the heat and slowly condense in to water. Some Equipments using the steam are not suitable to accept steam with water contents. Hence we have to prevent the condensate ( water) from entering such system/equipments. To do this we use a product called Steam Trap. Steam traps are designed for retaining the steam alone ( as clear from the name) and allow only the water to exit the system through suitable drain piping. This safeguards the system/equipments using the steam ...

How much steam is made on a Navy ship?
It depends on the ship in question. Steam is often used for things other than just propulsion. It is sometime used to heat a ship and to heat hot water. Nuclear and steam vessels run their power on steam.
What does SS mean on yachts?
"SS stands for Steam Ship for commercial or private vessels that are under power. Vessels that are gasoline or diesel powered are marked "MV", or Motor Vessel.
What is a steamboat?
A steamboat uses a steam engine similar to those on a steam locomotive. An external wood or coal fire heats water in a boiler, and the pressure of its expansion into steam is used to turn a shaft that is connected to paddlewheels, or to a propeller blade. Steamboats were the first alternative to sailing vessels, and replaced them as the major form of marine vessels. Modern steam turbines (invented in 1884) continue to be used for the generation of electricity worldwide.
How did the navy use nuclear power?
The Navy uses Nuclear Power to create steam. Steam is then used to power steam turbines, which in turn power the ship's screws and generators. The US Navy has steam plants, gas turbines, diesel and nuclear powered vessels.
What were the Merrimac and Monitor and how did they change warfare?
They are the first ironclad, steam powered, warships. They made wooden sailing vessels obsolete.
Does a nuclear power plant let out steam?
Any steam you see from a nuclear plant is not from the reactor primary circuit, but as on any steam power station, whether nuclear or fossil fired, there are times when steam has to be released. This is particularly during start up from cold when steam lines have to be purged and warmed through before the steam at the turbine inlet is of good enough quality to start it rolling. Another circumstance when steam will be blown off is if the turbine suddenly trips out or the outgoing grid connection is lost for some reason, then there is a sudden loss of the requirement for the steam being produced from the nuclear plant and it has to be blown off temporarily via pressure reducing safety valves.
