Why steam is used to rotate the turbine?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When water is heated, it converts into steam. This steam in under high pressure and temperature. This force of steam rotates the terbines. The same steam is again condensed and converted back into water. The excess heat in turbine again makes this water turn into steam. In this way turbine rotates very effetively due to steam, hence, steam is used to rotate the turbine.
