How does steam heating work?
when you heat water it causes steam because over a certain point of temperature it causes watervaper

What are steam pipes for as the one that exploded in midtown Manhattan on July 17?
Sending stream to buildings in Manhattan for Heat/ hot water and air conditioning systems such as central heating where brine is used and also used for making electricity through a steam operated turbine
How is energy transferred in a steam heating systemm?
In a steam heating system, energy is transferred from the steam to the surrounding air or objects through conduction. The steam gives off heat as it condenses into water, warming up the radiators or pipes in the system, which then heat the space through convection and radiation.

Greenwald has written: 'Residential energy systems and climate control technology' -- subject(s): Dwellings, Heating and ventilation, Air conditioning 'Graphic communications' -- subject(s): Printing, Graphic arts 'Residential hot water and steam heating' -- subject(s): Hot-water heating, Heating and ventilation, Steam-heating, Dwellings
How is energy transferred in a steam heating system?
In a steam heating system, energy is transferred by condensing steam back into water. Steam is generated in a boiler, then travels through pipes to radiators where it releases heat to warm the space. As the steam cools, it turns into water and returns to the boiler to be reheated and continue the cycle.
How is the heating system radiator and conduction related?
A radiator in a heating system uses conduction to transfer heat from hot water or steam to the surrounding air. The hot water or steam flows through the radiator, heating up the metal fins, which then warms the air in the room through conduction.
Why does smoke come out of your microwave when you heat up a scone?
It is actually steam, not smoke, that is released. Condensation causes there to be small amounts of moisture within the scone. Heating the scone in the microwave turns the water into steam, and the steam is then released.
What is condensate?
The liquid formed by the condensation of a vapor; in steam heating, water is condensed from steam; in air conditioning, water is extracted from air.For the source and more detailed information concerning this subject, click on the related links section (Answers.com) indicated below.

How is thermal energy from the steam transferred to the radiator?
Thermal energy from the steam is transferred to the radiator through conduction. The steam flows through pipes within the radiator, heating the metal walls. Heat is then transferred from the hot metal to the surrounding air in the room.
What causes steam to come out of vents and water in driverside floorboard?
Heating hoses are exposed and need to be replaced. The heater core is leaking coolant.
