Expansion of steam in either the saturated or superheated state is generally not isothermal. When steam expands from a high pressure to a lower pressure the temperature will be reduced, unless energy is added during the process. When steam expands in an engine such as a steam turbine, the temperature reduction is greater than during free expansion
