What is steam? -NIL-

Question

-NIL-

Answer 1

Steam is water vapor created by heat and contained under pressure .  When we see steam escaping, what we are seeing is the water re-condensing into a cloud.

We use steam to do mechanical work by releasing the pressurized steam against turbines or pistons which causes them to move.  Steam once was the engine of just about everything mechanical.  Now the only steamships are nuclear powered military vessels.  The only steam locomotives are rolling museum pieces.  About the only other use of steam engines today is in electrical generation (both coal and nuclear)

Answer 2

The simple answer is water vapour. In its simplest form the sun shines on water which vaporises and turns into cloud. At a more complex level steam is heated again to make super heated steam or dry steam, this is used to drive turbines and produce electricity.
