🔍 Key Concepts

• Energy forms in a steam power plant (chemical, thermal, potential, kinetic, mechanical) • What happens to steam as it passes through nozzles and turbine blades • Overall energy flow: boiler → turbine → shaft

💭 Think About

• Think about what form of energy the steam already has as it leaves the boiler and travels through the piping to the turbine inlet. • Inside the turbine, does the steam mainly heat up, cool down, speed up, slow down, or push on something? What kind of energy change does that represent? • Which type of energy change would cause the steam’s velocity to increase as it enters and moves through the turbine stages?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the energy form of steam at the turbine inlet (is it already hot? already moving? under pressure?). • Determine which option describes energy conversion within the turbine itself, not in the boiler or fuel combustion process. • Eliminate any choice that does not involve steam pressure/velocity changes right at the turbine entrance.
