Steam may be used in a steam power plant cycle to produce electrical energy. The steam at high temperature expands going through a steam turbine and leaves at low pressure.
Steam may be used to heat materials in chemical processing plants using heat exchangers.
Steam may be used to heat rooms and buildings using steam radiators.
Steam may be used to cook foods or to keep foods warm.
Most commonly, to drive generators for producing electricity. The steam itself can be created by burning fossil fuels like coal, by burning biofuels, by a nuclear reactor, or by a solar furnace.
the steamboats were user for fishing, transportation and more...
Steam engines were the first successful engines that were invented. They were use to power the first trains, ships, cars, and factories.
Essential oil manufacturing is one of the important uses of steam distillation. It is also used in petrochemical plants, petroleum refineries and perfumes.
to produce energy
Any type of heat source can be used to generate steam.
Not directly, but fire can be used to help make electricity, for example fire can be used to boil water and make steam, steam can be used to power generators which in turn make electricity.
If the steam is superheated, then yes - it can be used to boil water. If the steam is at the saturation point however, the most you could achieve would be to heat the liquid water to the boiling point while condensing some of the steam.
The primary difference between a pressurized water reactor (PWR) and a boiling water reactor (BWR) is that in the BWR, water is actually boiled, and the steam is used to drive a steam turbine, while in the PWR, the primary coolant is not allowed to boil, but is circulated in a closed loop to boil water in a steam generator. The BWR circulates primary coolant through the steam turbine in a closed loop. The PWR contains the primary coolant in a loop that includes the steam generator, and not the steam turbine.
Water is used to transfer heat from the nuclear fuel in the reactor to the steam generators where it transfers heat to the secondary water to make steam. The steam is then used to turn turbines. Water from an external source is also used to condense the steam from the turbine exhaust, and this water is then returned to the steam generators to continue the cycle.
The heat is usually used to turn water into steam. That steam then powers turbines which, turning coils inside magnets, produce electricity. good answer ; and u can turn Waste Heat Into Electricity

Coal is burnt to boil water into steam steam is then used to drive turbines that are connected to generators that make electricity
If the steam is superheated, then yes - it can be used to boil water. If the steam is at the saturation point however, the most you could achieve would be to heat the liquid water to the boiling point while condensing some of the steam.
Coal is burned to make heat, and the heat is used to boil water, which produces steam, and the steam pressure is used to rotate a steam turbine, and the rotating turbine is used to generate electricity.
Electircity made human make fire in an other way, the fire was used to boil / heat water. that came to be steam. scientists figured out a way to revurse the effect. that steam will make electricaty. i too do not know how that did that. Signed : The-G-Man
Heat from fossil fuels is used to boil water and turn it into steam in order to generate electricty.
Yes. The above statement is true.
A boiler in a coal power station is responsible for converting water into steam. The coal is burned in the furnace of the boiler, producing heat which is used to generate steam. This steam is then used to drive a turbine, which spins a generator to produce electricity.
You end up with heat that is used to boil water to make steam, that is then used to drive a turbine, and that drives the shaft of an electrical generator.
The nuclear reaction produces heat, which is used to boil water. The steam then drives a steam turbine, producing electricity.
When water heats up to the point where it starts to boil, steam will descend from the water. So, water and high temperatures create steam. But, since other liquids also can create steam, I would say that if you boil a common liquid you will get steam.
Yes, that is how they are used to generate electricity.
