When rocks are changed by heat, pressure, or steam, they can undergo metamorphism. This process can produce new minerals, change the texture of the rock, and create foliation or banding. The end result can be metamorphic rocks such as marble, slate, or schist.

Why do rocks fly out of volcanoes?

Rocks fly out of volcanoes during eruptions due to the build-up of pressure from the molten rock, gas, and steam inside the volcano. When the pressure becomes too high, the volcano erupts, causing rocks and other materials to be forcefully expelled through the vent.


Can hot rocks make steam?

Yes, hot rocks can generate steam if they are in contact with water. When water seeps into cracks or pores in the rocks and is heated by the rock's temperature, it can turn into steam. This process is often utilized in geothermal energy production, where hot rocks heat underground water, creating steam that can drive turbines to generate electricity.


What is the movement of the molecules in the high pressure steam?

In high pressure steam, molecules move rapidly and collide with each other and the walls of the container, creating pressure. This rapid movement is due to the high temperature of the steam.


What is the Temp of 60psi steam?

The temperature of steam at 60 psi (pounds per square inch) is approximately 165°C (329°F). This temperature is derived from steam tables, which relate pressure and temperature for saturated steam. At this pressure, the steam is in a saturated state, meaning it can condense back into water at this temperature.


How much hydrogen gas is produced when steam is passed over hot iron?

When steam is passed over hot iron, the reaction produces iron oxide and hydrogen gas. The amount of hydrogen gas produced depends on the reaction conditions such as temperature, pressure, and quantity of iron. From the balanced chemical equation, for every mole of iron that reacts, one mole of hydrogen gas is produced.

What is flashsteam?

Flash steam is steam that is produced when high temperature high pressure water is released to the atmosphere.


When is steam produced?

Steam is produced whenever water boils, which occurs at 100 degrees Celsius at standard pressure and temperature (boiling point changes at altitudes because of the pressure change, remember).


What is the percent of electricity produced by the process of heating steam to power a turbine in USA?

I can't answer for fossil (high pressure) cycles, but for the Nuclear Steam Supply Cycle (intermediate pressure) the efficiency is about 33%.


How is steam produced in a boiler?

Steam is generated by heat from the combution of fuel in a furnace or by waste heat from a process. The heat is transferred to water in the boiler shell, which then evaporates to produce steam under pressure.


How do you convert pressure into electricity?

If you heat water in a closed vessel it will turn to steam when hot enough. This creates a pressure in the vessel that can force the steam being produced to drive the blades of a turbine generator to create electricity.
