2. Steam shower - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_shower

   A steam shower is a type of bathing where a humidifying steam generator produces water vapor that is dispersed around a person's body. A steam shower is essentially a steam room that offers the typical features of a bathroom shower. Steam showers are generally found in self-contained enclosures that prevent the water vapour from escaping into ...

3. Steam-electric power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam-electric_power_station

   Steam-electric power station. The steam-electric power station is a power station in which the electric generator is steam driven. Water is heated, turns into steam and spins a steam turbine which drives an electrical generator. After it passes through the turbine, the steam is condensed in a condenser. The greatest variation in the design of ...

4. Boiler (power generation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_(power_generation)

   Boiler (power generation) An industrial boiler, originally used for supplying steam to a stationary steam engine. A boiler or steam generator is a device used to create steam by applying heat energy to water. Although the definitions are somewhat flexible, it can be said that older steam generators were commonly termed boilers and worked at low ...

5. Steam generator (boiler) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator_(boiler)

   A steam generator is a form of low water-content boiler, similar to a flash steam boiler. The usual construction is as a spiral coil of water-tube, arranged as a single, or monotube, coil. Circulation is once-through and pumped under pressure, as a forced-circulation boiler. [1] The narrow-tube construction, without any large-diameter drums or ...

6. Steam generator (nuclear power) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_generator_(nuclear...

   A steam generator (aka nuclear steam raising plant ('NSRP')) is a heat exchanger used to convert water into steam from heat produced in a nuclear reactor core. They are used in pressurized water reactor between the primary and secondary coolant loops. In typical PWR designs, the primary coolant is high-purity water, kept under high pressure so ...

7. Thermal power station - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_power_station

   A Rankine cycle with a two-stage steam turbine and a single feed water heater. The energy efficiency of a conventional thermal power station is defined as saleable energy produced as a percent of the heating value of the fuel consumed. A simple cycle gas turbine achieves energy conversion efficiencies from 20 to 35%. [5]
