What else can I help you with?
How do you power generator to create electricity?
The nuclear reactor produces heat which is used to raise steam to feed a steam turbine/generator set
A steam turbine has an efficiency of 40 percent A steam engine has an efficiency of 25.0 percent Suppose both devices are provided with 1000J of thermal energy How much more useful work will the ste?
The steam turbine will produce 400 J of output, and the steam engine 250 J. That's what the efficiency figure means.
What would happen if 1 percent to condense steam in the atmosphere?
nothing
What is total heat of steam?
The total heat of steam, also known as enthalpy of steam, is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water to its boiling point and then convert it into steam without changing its temperature. It is the sum of sensible heat and latent heat of vaporization.
Who designed a steam engine that was 40 percent more efficient and significantly cheaper than standard steam engines?
Benjamin Franklin Isherwood
How do you heat water without stove or oven?
As you probably already know, water boils at 212F (100C). This only applies when at sea level with an atmospheric pressure of 14.7psia. To raise the boiling point all you need to do is raise the pressure. In a steam plant where steam is used to drive turbines, the water is pressurized by heating it in an enclosed system. As the water turns to steam, the steam has no where to escape and the pressure in the enclosed system begins to rise. As the pressure rises so does the boinling point. Some plants will raise the temperature to 500F which corresponds to a pressure of about 620psi.
Will methane gas combust and raise steam temperature further if added to steam 600 degrees C in a chamber?
Yes, if methane gas is added to steam at 600 degrees Celsius in a combustion chamber, the methane can combust to further raise the temperature of the steam. This process can yield more heat energy and increase the overall temperature of the system.
Does it take more energy as heat to raise the temperature of water by one degree than to raise the temperature of steam by the same amount?
Yes. The specific heat capacity of liquid water is 4.184 J/g•oC, and the specific heat capacity of steam is 2.010 J/g•oC.
Who designed a steam engine that was forty percent more efficient half the size and significantly cheaper than standard steam engines?
Benjamin Franklin Isherwood
Can heat energy be converted to potential energy?
Yes. This happens, for example, when steam is used to raise something like a balloon.
Why do you put coal in trains?
You put coal to boil the water in the boiler to raise steam to drive the pistons which turns the wheels.
How much heat is required to produce 1kg of wet steam at 350 kilopascals from water at 20 degrees Celsius if steam is 95 percent dry?
It equals one kilpod.
