Heat energy to kinetic energy
Initially, the heat energy is converted to mechanical energy. Water is made into steam which expands and moves the piston which dives the shaft, thereby bringing about movement of the train. Here the mechanical energy is further converted to kinetic energy.
Mechanical energy is supplied to a generator from an engine, a steam turbine for example, and converted to electrical energy
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.
Yes, the conversion of steam to water is an exothermic process. When steam condenses into water, it releases heat energy to the surroundings. This heat energy is given off as the steam loses its kinetic energy during the phase change.
A steam engine. Like used in a steam locomotive
The function of the steam engine is to convert heat energy into motive power, mechanical energy. A boiler generates steam by the application of heat, that steam is then expanded (losing its heat energy) into a steam engine which moves a load (locomotive, line shaft, pump, machine, generator, etc.).
In a steam engine, the energy transformation involves converting the potential energy contained in steam (thermal energy) into mechanical energy. This process involves the steam expanding and pushing against a piston, which in turn drives a crankshaft to produce rotational mechanical energy.
Steam in a steam engine is made by heating water in a boiler until it turns into steam. The steam is then directed into a cylinder where it pushes a piston, creating mechanical energy that powers the engine.
