It is cooled to liquid and fed back into the boiler for reheating.

What are the capacity of Steam Turbines?
The capacity of each steam turbines has more than 530 GW in over 6000 installed units. The steam turbines provide high reliability and sustained high efficiency.
Why is superheated steam preferred in a turbine?
among other things, to improve thermal efficiency and minimize ( transmission losses) as the steam cycles through the turbines, these are often l00% Heavy Duty cycles as in Powerhouse service and Nuclear submarines. turbines use superheated steam in order to avoid condensation inside, and, as a result, erosion of the blades. Superheated steam also contains more potential energy (expressed as an enthalpy).
Why is convergent-divergent nozzle generally used in steam turbines?
A convergent-divergent nozzle is generally used in steam turbines. This is because it drives generators in producing electricity with the use of turbine rotors with curved axes.
What is the control stage in steam turbines?
The control stages are the stages at which steam is admitted to or extracted from the turbine. These "control" the output of the turbine.
What is steam turbine governor valve?
In large turbines, a valve controls steam flow to groups of nozzles. The number of open valves controls the number of nozzles in use according to the load. A bar-lift or cam arrangement operated by the governor opens and closes these valves in sequence. Such a device is a multi-port valve. Using nozzles at full steam pressure is more efficient than throttling the steam.

How the heat energy in a thermal power plant is converted into electrical energy?
Typically, the heat is used to boil water which produces steam. This steam is captured and pressurized before it is put through turbines. The steam spins the turbines which generates electricity. When the turbines are spun, however, it actually spins a coil of wire inside a magnet. This creates electricity... somehow.
What is the methods of compounding of steam turbines?
no
Fossil fuel plants and nuclear plants both heat water in order to turn?
Steam turbines, which then themselves turn generators.Nearly every method for generating electricity at commercial scales uses turbines at some point (though they may be wind, steam, or water turbines).
What type of combustion engine would you classify steam turbines used in power plants?
Steam turbines are external combustion engines.
Why is excessive moisture in steam undesirable in steam turbines?
moisture present in steam due to quality of steam.

Does a steam engine produce noise?
Yes, they do. They are, comparatively, much quieter than other machines, but they do make noise. **BTW: Steam turbines (radial, axial or tangential steam engines) make a very loud high pitched noise, in most applications, because the steam passing through most steam turbines exceeds the velocity of the sound barrier, the noise is a continuous "sonic boom".
