How come world thermodynamicists fail to recognize that what makes coal combustion the energy of choice for electricity is the reversible piston turbine reversible process?

I am not sure what you mean. What process is that? Any combustible fuel will work, not just coal. You can read about the thermodynamics part by looking for a description of the "Carnot engine". The process is NOT reversible; although the Carnot engine is reversible in theory, there are always losses in practice that make it irreversible; also, the fact of burning the coal is not reversible.

What is needed for combustion to take place?
A combustion reaction takes place when a fuel and an oxidant react, producing heat or heat and light. The most recognizable form of combustion reaction is flame, with explosions being an even faster form of combustion reaction. A combustion can happen at a wide range of speeds, and can occur in many different environments, but the majority of combustions we know and recognize happen in a fairly limited spectrum.
When was the first combustion engine made?
"Combustion engine" is a pretty generic term.Arguably the aeolipile was a very simple combustion engine, and it was described by Hero (that's a name, not a title) of Alexandria in the 1st Century.James Watt patented his steam engine in 1781.Robert Stirling developed an external combustion engine that did not use steam in 1816.The first internal combustion engine that we'd today recognize as an "engine" was probably the one developed by Christiaan Huygens (you may have heard the name before; he's more famous as an astronomer) in the 17th Century. It ran on gunpowder and was designed to operate water pumps for the palace gardens at Versailles.
