The temperature of the steam in a steam engine will vary as the pressure of the steam. The higher the pressure, the higher the temperature that the steam headers (pipes) will run at. Because pressure varies between steam engines, temperature will vary also. Those temperatures could be from between 300 to 400 degrees on up to 700 to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, depending on the actual pressure the boiler is running at.
Toy - Model steam engines typically use much lower steam pressures, and these machines run at 220F to about 250F

Why doesn't the water in your car's engine explode when the engine is hot?
The water does not explode because it changes form to a gas (steam). The hot steam then escapes through the pressure releases built into a car engine.
What type of combustion engine in the steam engine?
A steam engine is an external combustion engine. As the steam engine combusts outside of the engine itself.

What are steam engines?

What kills hot steam?
Hot steam is not alive, so therefore it can not be killed.
What was wrong with Newcomen's steam engine before James Watt improved it?
The steam cylinder was heated by steam then cooled to condense the steam. This caused thermal stress and cracking. James Watt corrected that with a separate condenser, allowing the cylinder to remain hot.
Can you clean a vehicles engine using a pressure hose?
Absolutely - it's commonly called 'steam-cleaning'. A jet of hot, pressurised steam is directed at the engine compartment, and it literally 'blasts' the accumulated grime and dirt off the surfaces.
How do you top up water on Mitsubishi 3000?
Pour it into the expansion bottle not the radiator type cap on the engine, opening that will give you steam burns if the engine is hot.
