these engines are self-started,less vibration due to rotary type,involves use of cheaper fuels,high starting torque is required.

It's true that an external combustion engine such as steam-engine can use cheaper or more or less any fuel; but the other qualities are not so,
A steam turbine (external combustion) can (and must) run without vibration, but so must a gas-turbine (internal combustion). Otherwise the internal combustion engine is the more efficient because its heat losses are much lower. Really, the i.c. engine has the advantage over the e.c., as it is more efficient (less fuel energy per HP or kW output), simpler in principle, lighter overall, cheaper and easier to make.

What has an external combustion engine?
Some Swedish subs have Stirling engines which is external combustion.
Does a truck use an external or internal combustion engine.?
Internal combustion engine.
What is external combution engine?
External Combustion engine is an engine in which combustion of fuel takes place outside the cylinder. e.g.Coal fired steam engines in trains
Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
In an Internal Combustion Engine, the fuel is burned in the cylinder or vessel. Eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder, like 99.9% of engines today.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burned. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. Eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains. An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating process is done in an boiler out side the engine.
What type of engine were in use before the internal combustion engine?
The external combustion engine, like in a steam train.
Is flywheel needed for external combustion engine?
no
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.
