Two of the floors have kitchens with inductive stoves and double ovens, one of which uses steam heat.
Plunged deep into her summer greenery, Williamsburg shimmers in the steam-heat of Virginia's Tidewater Peninsula with a haunting, sensual mystique that ordains a tryst behind every fragrant hedge.
The heat produces steam in a separate loop that drives the plant's turbines and generators.
The reactors super heated generating steam under so much heat and pressure that the hydrogen and oxygen split apart.
Modular nuclear reactors take uranium, or in some cases thorium, and produce steam for turbines via heat generated in fission reactions.

To get at deeper deposits engineers inject steam via pipes to heat the bitumen and separate it from the sand so it can be sucked out.
Cooler still is the method the arm deals with waste heat and steam: just like a regular arm, it's allowed to filter up through a permeable skin, producing "sweat" -- the same amount of perspiration you'd get on a warm summer day, according to the team.
ENGADGET: Rocket-powered mechanical arm might boost prosthetic tech
KHIC, also widely known as Hanjung, had been in the Gulf since 1986, providing heat-recovery steam generators for the Jebel Ali thermal power plant in the United Arab Emirates.

There are many nontrivial ancillary challenges too, especially the secondary procedure of actually getting the energy out of the reactor into a useful form, i.e. heat to drive steam-turbines as with all other kinds of thermal power stations, to generate electricity.
The gadget can grill, bake, fry, defrost and steam using a halogen light as heat.
Her face was soft now, damp from the steam of my bath and the heat of her news.
With sorghum, the ethanol distillery can put the bagasse (plant stalks) to use as a boiler fuel, generating heat for distillation and steam for electricity.
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.

Tellingly, about two-thirds of bids for solar energy contracts last year (by electricity generated) were for photovoltaic projects and only a third were for solar thermal power plants, which deploy vast arrays of mirrors to heat liquids and produce steam to drive an electricity-generating turbine.
FORBES: California Reveals Price It Pays For Renewable Energy
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
It is then run back through the heat exchanger to drive the steam turbine when needed.
Similarly, solar thermal energy--which harnesses the heat of the sun to generate steam-powered turbines--consumes more than 2, 600 liters of water per megawatt hour, 200 liters more than coal-powered generation needs to produce the same energy.
BrightSource generates electricity using an approach called concentrated solar power, in which computer-controlled mirrors, known as heliostats, focus the sun's heat to boil water and turn a steam turbine.
The efficiency of his design is further improved by using the moving piston to drive water through a special steam nozzle, which increases the effectiveness of the heat transfer between the inside and outside of the reactor.
Heat from the sun boils water to run a steam turbine generator, which delivers power to the grid.
Legge notes that newer fossil fuel plants use the heat that was once wasted to turn an extra steam turbine, a process known as combined cycle.
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.
The heat released by the molten salt is used to create steam that drives an electricity-generating turbine.
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
He rejected tubular steel as too susceptible to glare and heat and cold and went on to experiment with the steam techniques that produced his familiar pale, satiny, bentwood birch furniture, so pleasing to the hand and eye.
In a full-scale tokamak this heat would be tapped to boil water, which would then drive steam turbines to generate electricity.
Constantly monitor the temperature, and if steam begins to rise from the bowl, Mr. Brock said, take it off the heat and whisk until the temperature comes down.

Furthermore, it would take a combination of extreme events to make things dangerous in Tokyo (nuclear re-criticality, steam explosion) etc all of which are being rendered less and less likely as time passes and the heat decay process progresses.
