A diagram of a Biomass boiler.Students in this lesson will learn the importance of steam for generating and transporting heat from biofuels. Students will also learn how air pressure works, and differentiate states of matter and water. Estimate the volume difference between steam and water. Finally apply the energy required to convert water into steam and apply these scientific concepts to engineering designs using Next Generation Standards.
