What is a natural hot spring that occasionally sprays steam and water about the ground?
e) A natural hot spring that occasionally sprays hot water and streams? Q
What is boiling water and steam gushing into the air at regular intervals?
That's a geyser, a natural hot spring that erupts intermittently due to underground water being heated to the boiling point by geothermal heat. The pressure builds up until the water and steam are forced out through a vent in the ground.
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.
Why is there steam above the hot water?
Steam is formed when water is heated to its boiling point and changes from a liquid to a gas. The steam rises above the hot water because it is less dense than air and is buoyant, creating a visible cloud of water vapor.
Using a diagram briefly explain the layout and functioning of a nuclear power station In your answer refer to the three separate water circuits?
The three water circuits in the nuclear plant are the primary coolant, the secondary or main steam circuit, and the tertiary or condenser cooling system. Below is link to a fairly clear diagram that has all three water circuits in it. Look at the diagram as we give you the scoop one loop at a time. Primary coolant is circulated (forced by the main coolant pumps) through the reactor core to pick up heat. This hot primary coolant is circulated through that steam generator where it boils secondary water to create steam. The primary coolant leaves the steam generator cooler than when it went in (but still hot!), and then returns to the reactor's pressure vessel (where the reactor core is housed) to be reheated. It's a closed loop. In the secondary or main steam system, the feedwater turns to steam in the steam generator. It then leaves that steam generator and goes through the main steam header to the big steam turbines that drive the electric generators. In the main condenser below the steam turbine, the steam condenses back into water as the condenser cooling water circulates through the condenser. The water that used to be steam is now feedwater, and it's pumped back into the steam generator to begin the steam cycle again. The condenser cooling water that cooled the exhaust steam to convert it back to water is pumped out into a heat exchanger (evaporative cooling tower). Thus cooled there, the main condenser cooling water is pumped back into the main condenser to remove heat from the exhaust steam to convert it back to water. This completes the main condenser cooling cycle. A link below will lead you to a fairly clear diagram with the three cooling circuits in it. With a bit of jumping between the explanation and the diagram, you should be able to see everything clearly.
What is the difference between a calorifier and a steam generator?
A calorifier is a device used to heat and store water for domestic or industrial use, typically utilizing a hot water system. A steam generator, on the other hand, is a machine that generates steam by heating water, commonly used in power plants and industrial processes. In summary, a calorifier heats and stores water, whereas a steam generator produces steam.
What is hot water and steam that erupts from the ground BUBBA?
Hot spring
What is the difference between a hot water generator and steam boiler?
boiler use many type of working fluids like water, mercury, liquid sodium, etc., but steam generator works only with water as working fluid. hence all steam generator are boilers but all boilers are not steam generators...
Is a hot spring water and steam the erupts from the ground?
Yep!
What is a natural hot spring that occasionally sprays steam and water about the ground?
e) A natural hot spring that occasionally sprays hot water and streams? Q
Why don't nuclear subs use electric motors instead of steam turbines?
nuclear power makes hot water which turns into steam. instead of turbine how about a generator..
What is the term for a feature such as Old Faithful that ejects steam and hot water from a holw in the ground?
A geyser.
What is a natural hot spring that occasionally sprays water steam above the ground?
A hot spring that naturally shoots steam and boiling water is called a geyser.
What is hot water vapour known as?
Hot water vapor is known as steam.
Can I use a steam generator instead of a hot water heater?
Yes you can, but all generators should be used out doors to reduce risk of carbonbinoxzide poisoning
What are the four steps in geothermal energy?
Drilling wells to access hot water or steam underground. Extracting the hot water or steam to the surface. Using the heat to drive turbines and produce electricity. Reinjecting the cooled water back into the ground to sustain the resource.
What happens when fuel burns in a power station furnace?
In modern power plants, the fuel (coal, oil, gas) is burned, and the heat boils water. Steam from the boiling water turns a turbine, which turns a generator that produces the electricity. In one natural gas-fired, jet turbine engine, the jet engine turns the first generator. The hot exhaust passes through a heat exchanger, where it turns water to steam. The expanding steam turns a STEAM turbine, which turns a SECOND generator. The waste steam is used to heat about 40 acres of greenhouses that grow tomatoes. In everyday coal fired plants, the coal is ground to a powder, and blown into the firebox with powerful fans, where it combusts instantly.
