A steam engine uses water, steam, and heat.
A steam engine?
A steam engine is a heat engine. A steam engine uses boiling water to produce mechanical work. It uses the steam from the boiling water as its working fluid.
It is a steam engine.
steam engine uses thermal energy to convert water into steam and then uses pressure of steam to move the engine .thus thermal energy into pressure and further pressure into mechanical energy.
A steam boat uses superheated water (steam) to turn a turbine. This turning turbine thereby is connected to a engine that uses mechanical means to turn a propeller.

Steam powered engines were in many different uses in the 1800's. In locomotives, ships, and tractors and stationary engines in factories. I've never heard of them called anything but 'steam engine' .

The reciprocating steam engine (that is one that uses pistons in cylinders, moving in and out)
A steam engine is a type of engine that uses water steam to generate power. It operates by heating water in a boiler to produce steam, which then expands and moves pistons or drives turbines to perform mechanical work. Steam engines were pivotal during the Industrial Revolution, powering locomotives and machinery. Modern applications have largely shifted to more efficient engines, but steam technology still finds use in some power plants and historical restorations.
