Welcome to the image collection dedicated to the phenomena of “steam and smoke”! If you are looking for high-quality and informative photographs demonstrating these physical states and processes in nature and technology, you have come to the right place. Here you will find images illustrating various manifestations of steam and smoke in different contexts and circumstances.

Steam is a visible cloud of tiny liquid droplets formed by the condensation of water vapor, which is the gaseous state of water. Steam can be observed above hot springs, boiling pots, industrial boilers, as well as in nature in the form of fog or clouds at ground level. Its formation is associated with heating and cooling processes, where water vapor turns into liquid droplets capable of taking various shapes. Steam often arises during the evaporation of liquid under high temperature conditions, and its density and appearance depend on the ambient temperature, humidity, and pressure.

Smoke is a mixture of solid microparticles and gases formed during combustion or pyrolysis. Sources of smoke can be campfires, industrial chimneys, fuel burning, and forest fires. Smoke consists of tiny soot, ash, water vapor, and various gases. Depending on the source and composition, smoke can have different densities and durations of staying in the air. Smoke rising into the atmosphere can alter the microclimate and participate in complex physical and chemical processes. Smoke formation is associated with oxidation-reduction reactions and depends on the composition of materials and burning conditions.

In nature and technology, steam and smoke often appear together, reflecting processes of heat engineering, combustion, and phase transitions. The visual forms of steam and smoke can vary from thin veils to dense clouds, observable in the operation of industrial facilities, everyday life, or natural phenomena. Their presence indicates the occurrence of various thermodynamic and chemical processes important for science, industry, and daily life. The visual diversity and physical characteristics of these phenomena make them indispensable objects for study and documentation.
