What energy transfer takes place when steam enters the turbin housing?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

When steam enters the turbine housing, the energy transfer that takes place is the conversion of the thermal energy of the steam into kinetic energy, which drives the turbine blades to rotate. This rotational motion is then used to generate mechanical work or electricity, depending on the application.
