When one basically sees the flow system in a power plant, then following formula for is-entropic process is important:
h+(V2/2) = constant
heat energy is related to 'h'(enthalpy). The conversion of 'h' to 'V'(velocity) takes place in a CD (convergent divergent)nozzle, where the steam expands and 'h' is converted into kinetic energy of steam (in turn steam gets a huge momentum)which turn the steam turbine.
So basically the kinetic energy for the steam is developed in CD nozzle itself (from decreasing enthalpy which was generated due to heat energy in super heater or the boilers), which turns the turbine.
In a turbine, mechanical energy from the moving fluid (such as steam or water) is converted into rotational kinetic energy of the turbine blades. This rotational kinetic energy is then converted into electrical energy as the turbine drives a generator to produce electricity.
When steam enters a turbine housing, it undergoes a transfer of thermal energy into kinetic energy. This thermal energy causes the steam to expand and move rapidly, which in turn drives the turbine blades to rotate. The rotational motion of the turbine blades is then converted into mechanical energy that can be used to generate electricity or perform other types of work.
i believe it is chemical to kinetic but there is probably no transfer becasue chemical energy is stored energy like in a battery, but steam is i guess kinetic cuz its moving, and turbines definitely are kinetic due to movement, so probably no energy transfer.
Geothermal energy uses the heat from beneath the Earth's surface to generate steam. This steam is then used to spin turbine blades attached to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy of the spinning blades into electricity.
A turbine spins due to a flow of fluid, usually steam or water, passing through it. The fluid's kinetic energy is converted into mechanical energy that spins the turbine. It is not the turbine itself that provides energy, but rather the fluid flowing through it.
Turbines are attache to either alternator or generator which converts mechanical energy to electric energy. Turbines convert the kinetic energy into mechanical energy. (Eg. steam turbine is a prime-mover in which te potential energy of the steam is transformed into kinetic energy and latter in its turn is transformed into the mechanical energy of the rotation of the turbine shaft)
The kinetic energy in a turbine comes from the movement of a fluid (such as wind, water, or steam) that flows through the turbine's blades. As the fluid moves, it transfers its kinetic energy to the turbine's rotor, causing it to spin and generate mechanical energy that is then converted into electricity.
A turbine.
I think I can get the definition which I have studied in My college . A Steam Turbine can be defined as a Mechanical Device which generates Kinetic energy with the help Thermal energy from Steam into Mechanical Energy.
The process of rushing steam turning a water wheel can be compared to the concept of using a turbine to convert kinetic energy into mechanical energy. In this case, the steam would be the source of the kinetic energy, which is then harnessed to turn the water wheel, similar to how a turbine harnesses energy to generate electricity.
In a turbine, mechanical energy from the moving fluid (such as steam or water) is converted into rotational kinetic energy of the turbine blades. This rotational kinetic energy is then converted into electrical energy as the turbine drives a generator to produce electricity.
In a nuclear power plant, nuclear energy is used to produce heat through nuclear reactions. This heat is then used to produce steam, which drives a turbine to generate kinetic energy in the form of mechanical motion. The kinetic energy is ultimately transformed into electrical energy through a generator.

Nuclear fission generates heat which is used to produce steam. The high-pressure steam spins a turbine by expanding through its blades. The turbine is connected to a generator, which converts the kinetic energy from the spinning turbine into electricity.
