Which invention provided manufacturers with a new source of power for machines?
Steam engine
What energy source was used to power steam engines?
water
How does a steam engine change chemical energy to heat energy?
A steam engine uses a hydrocarbon based fuel source. The combustion of the fuel releases the chemical energy in the bonds in the form of thermal energy.
What is the source of energy in a steam engine?
The energy source in a steam engine is the heat source that converts water into steam thus creating pressure. The heat source itself can be a coal, wood, gas or petroleum burner but can also be something different like a solar panel or a nuclear reactor (most nuclear reactors are themselves steam engines-generators).
What is the function of steam engine?
The function of the steam engine is to convert heat energy into motive power, mechanical energy. A boiler generates steam by the application of heat, that steam is then expanded (losing its heat energy) into a steam engine which moves a load (locomotive, line shaft, pump, machine, generator, etc.).
Invention provided manufacturers with a new source of power for machines?
Steam engine
What was most important source of power for the early industrial revolution?
the steam engine
What was the most important source of power of the early industrial revolution?
the steam engine
What was the most important power source for the early industrial revolution?
the steam engine
What energy source powered the steam engine?
Other to coal I suppose you mean. Burning of any fuel like oil, wood, etc. Nuclear reactors. I suspect solar energy would make steam. It would be possible to use natural steam from deep in the ground.
What invention added a new energy source for the textile and coal industries?
steam engine
What is the significance of the steam engine?
The steam engine was the first convenient source of power. It powered the industrial revolution as well as ships and trains in it's day.
