Thank you all. One more clarification please, Is it latent heat or the kinetic energy of the steam/vapours which runs the turbine? And i am asking about the one in which steam directly falls on the turbine blades.

Why only water is used in water in boilers at steam power plant? can we use other liquid? water has high boiling point and latent heat of vaporization so it requires more energy to make steam from it, what if we use some other liquid having lower latent heat of vaporization and use its vapours for same purpose as steam , can we save energy which is wasting in conversion of water to steam?
