A steam engine meant that a factory or mill no longer needed to be built close to a lodge, reservoir or running water to drive a waterwheel. Coal could be delivered, and water for the boilers could be piped over long distances.

What is the advantage of using variable length inlet manifolds?
Maximizes torque/power out of the engine by increasing cylinder filling (volumetric efficiency).
Why higher CC car is more powerful than lower CC?
That isn't always true. An engine with a larger displacement has an advantage but there are other factors that can increase power in a smaller engine that can out perform a larger engine.
