Steam –the ideal source of power!

Steam –the ideal source of power!

Steam is a derivative of water. It is a result of a change in phase from liquid to gas for this substance (water) due to the introduction of heat.It is a preferred media for powering engines and turbines in many situations. For one, water is relatively inexpensive and in abundance in most parts of the earth. Water can easily change phase from liquid to gas, too, and vise-versa, and has the capability to store a large amount of heat energy called latent heat per kg of mass compared to many substances. …Other substances, have been explored to take the place of water. To this day, however, its commercial value has not been supplanted. –an excerpt from my blog on “Engineering and Technical Knowledge Arena .”
