How steam boilers work?
Steam boilers work by boiling water to generate steam. The steam then is used to heat the engine.
How did work done by the steam engine compare to work done by horses?
the steam engine was quicker and stronger than hoses
What is the steam ingein?
A steam engine is a heat engine. A steam engine uses boiling water to produce mechanical work. It uses the steam from the boiling water as its working fluid.

How did James watt get the steam engine to work?
James Watt did NOT get the steam engine to work - it already was. But he added a condenser and upped the efficacy by several times, making it a practical device.
Why was the steam engine an improvement in powering work?
Before the steam engine, the best one could hope for machines in work was wind- or water-mills. The steam engine generated much greater power, allowing not only more reliable results, but longer distances on which that energy could be used.
What is the use of steam engine?
To convert heat energy into mechanical work.
How did the first steam engine work?
two words: nuclear power
What was the horsepower of the 1st steam engine?
The first steam engine was Hero's turbine, it is unknown what the horsepower output of it was. It was used as an item of curiosity, and did no real work. The first practical (useful) steam engine was the Newcomen pumping engine, used to pump water out of mines, it was an improvement over Savery's pump (which did use steam but not an engine) in that it more efficiently made use of the steam, it is estimated that the work output of this engine would have been about 10 to 30 horsepower. The engine used the vacuum created by condensing the steam to drive it. The Boulton-Watt engine was the first practical engine that used the power of the expansion of steam to drive the piston, in both directions, thus improving the efficiency of the engine. The horsepower of this engine was about 10 to 45 BHP (brake horsepower).
