In hot steam, the main forms of energy present are thermal energy and heat energy. Thermal energy is the total kinetic energy of the particles within the steam, while heat energy is the transfer of thermal energy between objects due to a temperature difference.
Burning coal gives heat (thermal), light and sound energy.
When coal is burned to make steam, the stored chemical energy in the coal is released as heat energy through a combustion reaction. This heat energy is then used to heat water and produce steam, which in turn drives turbines to generate electricity. The thermal energy from burning coal is transformed into mechanical energy and then electrical energy in this process.
Steam is typically considered a form of thermal energy, as it is a vaporized form of water with high heat energy. However, if steam is used to power a turbine or generator to produce electricity, it can be considered a form of mechanical energy that is derived from the chemical energy stored in the fuel that heated the water to produce the steam.
When coal is burned in a furnace of a power plant, the primary energy produced is thermal energy. This thermal energy is used to heat water and produce steam, which then drives a turbine to generate electricity.
Thermal energy (heat) and Kinetic energy (movement).
Steam energy is a form of thermal energy that is harnessed by using steam to power turbines that generate electricity. It is commonly used in power plants that rely on steam as a source of energy to produce electricity.
steam engine uses thermal energy to convert water into steam and then uses pressure of steam to move the engine .thus thermal energy into pressure and further pressure into mechanical energy.

An example of the transfer from thermal energy to mechanical energy is a steam turbine used in power plants. Steam generated by burning fossil fuels or using nuclear reactions carries thermal energy, which then drives the turbine blades to produce mechanical energy that can be used to generate electricity.

When steam comes into contact with your skin, the thermal energy in the steam is transferred to your skin. This transfer of thermal energy increases the temperature of your skin, which can result in burns if the steam is too hot.
