No. Exhaust steam must be condensed back into water before being pumped back to the boiler. High pressure exhaust is often used to heat production or heating equipment, returned to a condensate tank then pumped to the D/A before being returned to the boiler. Low pressure (vaccuum) exhaust is condensed by a jet condenser or shell and tube condenser before being returned to the D/A.
There are boilers designed to heat mineral oil (as well as other fluids) which is then pumped through a heat exchanger to generate steam.
A pop pop boat is powered by a very simple heat engine. This engine consists of a small boiler, which is connected to an exhaust tube. When heat is applied to the boiler, water in the boiler flashes into steam. The expanding steam pushes some of the water in the exhaust tube, propelling the boat forward. The steam bubble then condenses, creating a vacuum which draws water back in through the exhaust tube. The cooled water that is brought back into the boiler is then heated and flashed into steam, and the cycle repeats. This constant flashing and cooling cycle of the engine creates the distinctive "pop pop" noise for which the boat is named. This noise is more pronounced when a diaphragm type boiler is used. Coil type boilers are much quieter.

The feed system cycles between boiler and turbine and enables the steam to return to the boiler as feed water. A closed feed cycles a main propulsion steam run turbine through a high pressure water tube boiler. The condenser, set to a high vacuum, will receive the steam turbine exhaust.

metal + steam = boiler
Yes, steam engines do have pistons and valves. The piston valve is shaped like a piston hence its name. It used to control the flow of live (boiler) steam into the cylinder and the flow of exhaust steam out of the cylinder.

The steam drum separated the steam from the water and stream mixture in the boiler drum.
Granville T. Woods invented the Steam Boiler Furnace

A Rankine cycle diagram typically shows four main components: a boiler, a turbine, a condenser, and a pump. The process involves the heating of water in the boiler to produce steam, which then expands through the turbine to generate power. The steam is then condensed back into water in the condenser before being pumped back to the boiler to repeat the cycle.
