steam production

Steam production involves converting water into vapor by applying heat. When water is heated, its molecules gain energy and move faster. At a certain temperature, called boiling point, the water changes phase from liquid to gas, forming steam. This process requires heat energy, often supplied by boilers or other heat sources. Steam is useful because it can carry energy efficiently, used to generate electricity, power engines, or provide heating. Managing conditions like pressure and temperature is essential for safe and efficient steam production, ensuring it meets the needs of industrial or residential applications.
