Condensation

The process by which vapour is converted to liquid, often by contact with a cold surface on which droplets of liquid then begin to form. Condensation is an essential part of the steam cycle, where the steam is cooled, e.g. by cooling towers, and condensed into a liquid after passing through the turbine.
