What is a chamber in a steam engine where fuel is burnt?
Firebox
Can a train run on steam?
Steam trains were once widespread, and changed the world. A steam engine is an external combustion engine, meaning that the fuel burns outside the engine. In modern internal combustion engines the petrol or diesel burns inside the engine, and the gases produced expand and push the cylinders, and this motion eventually turns the wheels. In the steam engine the fuel burns in an external fire box. The heat boils the water to make steam, which pushes the cylinders. So it depends exactly what you mean by 'run'. Certainly there were and are steam trains, but the steam doesn't provide the energy to make it go, the fuel does.
What are the different between the watt steam engine and the internal combustion engine?
They are completely different engines; however, the most fundamental difference is that the Watt steam engine runs on steam, whereas the internal combustion engine runs on fuel oil.
How did James watt help the fuel industrialization in great Britain?
Improve the steam engine
Identify the source of thermal energy in an internal combustion engine?
In an internal combustion engine fuel is burned in a combustion chamber or cylinder inside the engine
In a external combustion engine the fuel is burned inside the cylinder?
no.. by definition the combustion is outside of the engine. a steam engine would be an example.
Why is fuel burned in the power station?
Fuel is burned to create steam. The steam turns the turbines, which produces electricity.
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
What is the process by which engine fuel is burned?
combustion
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 fuel is used on a train that runs on steam energy?
A steam engine train is a train that was more commonly found in the mid 1800's. The trains would be powered by coal that would heat up water that would turn to steam and would power the Engine. .
Type of engine fuel is burned in duct?
Ramjet
What is a chamber in a steam engine where fuel is burnt?
Firebox
How can you change cars fuel to H2O?
You can't. No internal combustion engine will run on water except a steam engine, and even that requires another fuel to produce the steam.
What is form of the energy conversion that take place to combustion engine?
Heat energy is released in a heat engine when fuel is burned. The heat energy is then changed into mechanical energy.
Can water fuel run the car?
Yes if it has a steam engine
What is the fuel source for a steam engine?
It depends, mostly coal.
