The telltale sign of trouble at reactor No. 2, Tokyo Electric Power Co. officials said, was that pressure had dropped in the "suppression pool" the part of the reactor that converts steam to water at the bottom of the container.
Steam (the water should be at a rolling boil) for 4 minutes.
With a combined heat and power plant, some of those 76 wasted BTUs that were going out the stack are captured, generally as steam or hot water that can get piped around and used for heat.
FORBES: Massachusetts Addresses "Biomass Loophole" and Limits Subsidies
Geothermal power plants turn hot water into steam or vapor to run a turbine and generate electricity, after which the water is injected back into the underground geothermal reservoir.
The project will also capture steam for use as water in the parched country.
ECONOMIST: A hot new proposal for ending electricity shortages
Phase shifts are not new, and are actually quite evident in nature (Water to Steam, Iron to Magnet).
The illicitly filmed sepia images are curiously reminiscent of Rembrandt: doughy old women waddling through steam, slipping into water.
In the mornings, steam rises from the water, creating a mystical atmosphere.
For most banks, it will be a phase change, a shift as fundamental as the shift from ice to water, or from water to steam.
FORBES: Big Banks Back Off Debit-Card Fees, But Public Demands More
The power plant has been shut down since this winter, when a small amount of radioactive gas escaped from a steam generator during a water leak.
Early in the series, Sylvia compares her sexual allure to steam coming off the water in the crocodile house at the zoo a phrase lifted from Ford.
WSJ: TV's Novel Challenge: Parade's End and Other Literature on the Screen
Local police described how one piece smashed into the ground near Lake Chebarkul, throwing up a column of ice, water and steam and creating a 26-foot crater.
The gravity-based system responded as it was designed to, circulating water and steam in a continuous loop to keep the scale-model reactor at a safe temperature automatically.

These core uses (what they refer to as direct water and steam services in the commercial, residential, industrial and power sectors) eat up 12.3 quadrillion BTU per year.
Located just south of Capitol Hill, the plant burns 47% coal, 43% natural gas and 10% fuel oil to provide steam power and chilled water to the Capitol and 23 surrounding buildings.
The oil, which glows purplish when hot, flows to an adjacent power plant, where it boils water into steam that runs a turbine, and is pumped back to do it all over again.
There may still be scepticism and questions over taste, but if the distinctive four funnels of Titanic 2 steam out of Southampton Water in 2016 as planned, the world will certainly be watching.
Last year, federal regulators blamed heavy tube wear in the generators on a botched computer analysis that they said badly misjudged how water and steam would flow in the reactors, along with manufacturing problems.
Engineered geothermal systems (EGS) are based on a related principle, but they work even in parts of the world that are not volcanically active, by drilling thousands of metres underground to mimic the design of natural steam or hot-water reservoirs.
That changed a lot when the heat of fire was used for boiling water into steam to drive industry, which became large scale and controlled by a few people with countless labourers and employees, whose smaller scale business had come to be totally outcompeted and had no choice but to accept the working conditions that suited these new tycoons.
From there the trash is fed into three boilers that burn at 2, 000 degrees, heating water to create steam that spins a 60-megawatt turbine.
In London, West German cities and New York, hundreds of plants burn 4 million tons of refuse each year, heat water, produce steam, and supply electricity.
FORBES: Initiative Would Shutter California Nuclear Plants For Decades While Feds Ponder Waste
As solar panel prices have plunged, developers like Solar Millennium have abandoned solar thermal technology, which uses huge mirror arrays to heat water to create steam that drives an electricity-generating turbine.
FORBES: U.S. Solar Market Jumps 69% in Q2 But Likely To Cool Off
The biomass power station would burn rubbish, animal manure, woodchips, seaweed, corn stalks and other wastes, to heat water to create steam to turn turbines to produce around 300 megawatts of electricity.
BBC: NEWS | UK | Wales | North West Wales | Power station 'deal to save jobs'
They can then check the wires (because, as you know, there have been claims that the wiring may have been misconnected) and also the power output of the unit in relation to both the heated water and the steam.
FORBES: E-Cat Proof Challenge: $1,000,000 is a "Clownerie"? (Updated)
Ivanpah is a solar concentrator project, using fields of mirrors, known as heliostats, to concentrate sunlight onto a solar receiver on top of a tower. (This project when finished will include 173, 000 heliostats.) The concentrated sunlight is used to heat water, generating steam which is used to turn a traditional turbine and generator to produce electricity.
FORBES: Google Invests $168 Million In BrightSource Energy Solar Plant
The manti were filled with piping hot steam (and steam can be hotter than boiling water).
Heat from the sun boils water to run a steam turbine generator, which delivers power to the grid.
Obvious discomfort rose from the group and hit me in the face like steam from a pot of boiling water.
FORBES: Borrowing Millions Starts With a Positive First Impression
With the right conditions you can turn water into ice or steam, but did you know that a blender can help you turn it into powder too?
