Most steam engines except those used on tourist railroads have been replaced with the more efficient steam turbine engines.
Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.

steam engine powers are used for the transport application in the early days. Later modified versions of the steam engines are used also for the electrical energy generation.
Yes. Heat engines come in various forms. For example, internal combustion using gasoline or diesel, external combustion (not much used), steam engines reciprocating or turbine, gas turbines, rocket engines.
Yes, turbines used today are radial steam engines.
In the years ranging from 1825 to about 1964, steam engines were used on the railway transportation systems of most of the world. steam trains are the locomotives that have the large wheels. ( google your local railway museum ) mean while, from 1890 to 1920, steam engines where used as steam tractors used for field work. today, most steam trains today, are gone. however, steam engines are used to power electric genorators. By the way, they also expiramented with a steam car too, some sucedded. but had a tendency to blow up in your face. today most steam trains, tractors, and cars. have been replaced by gasoline and diesel engines.

Someone who doesn't want to burn gasoline. A steam engine has the ability to use anything that will burn. Had the technology been applied to steam engines like it was to gasoline engines, we possibly would have some viable steam engine transportation today. Steam engines were less efficient than gasoline or diesel engines, that is why they are not used much today.
Steam engines presently produce more power than all other types of engines combined. Most steam engines take the form of the steam turbine engine. The steam turbine is responsible for generating about 86% of the electric power used on this planet. Reciprocating steam engines are still in use for limited applications, but are generally considered obsolete. Steam engines, either the piston or turbine type were used on most big ships until recently, and there are still a few steam locomotives about.
The first steam engines used for pumping water out of mines.
I believe steam engines are still widely used in China

Steam generators are being used in many coal plants. There it is used to fuel the engines that process newly found coal so that it may be refined and used.
Hydronics is the use of liquid water for transferring heat in temperature heating or cooling systems. Hydronics is used in steam engines in the past, and is used in many car engines today.
