Technically a steam turbine is a particular type of steam engine.
A classic steam engine usually refers to a reciprocating steam engine, which uses a piston and crank arrangement, where pressurised steam (from the boiler) forces the piston through its stroke, producing output power.
A steam turbine produces power with pressurized steam expanding to high velocity, and impinging on turbine blades which produce rotational output power. A steam turbine can be considered similar to a windmill, although steam turbines typicaly rotate much faster, and often have many stages of steam expansion within a single machine.

What is the use of a steam engine?
turbine
What is a kind of engine that uses water steam or heat that starts with tur?
The word is "turbine".
How ESV in turbine works?
The Emergency Stop Valve (ESV) in a turbine is placed between the steam engine and the turbine structure. It is designed to rapidly close and prevent steam from reaching the turbine in case of emergency.
What is used to turn a generator?
A handle, a pair of pedals, a treadmill, a water mill, a petrol engine, a diesel engine, a wind turbine, a steam turbine, a gas turbine.
How did the steam boat work?
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.
What kind of engine which uses water steam or heat has tur in it?
The engine you are referring to is likely a "steam turbine." A steam turbine converts the energy from steam, produced by boiling water, into mechanical energy. This process typically involves high-pressure steam passing through blades in the turbine, causing it to spin and generate power. Steam turbines are widely used in power plants and various industrial applications.
Are steam engines and steam turbines the same thing?
Usually no, a steam engine usually refers to a system using steam pressure to make pistons in cylinders slide, while a steam turbine refers to a system using steam pressure to make turbine blades spin. However "steam engine" is often used loosely to refer to either.
Is steam reversible?
Yes. Steam is produced in a steam generator (boiler), used to power an engine (or turbine), condensed, and returned to the boiler as feedwater.
What is the defferences between a steam turbine gas turbine?
STEAM TURBINE is a machine for generating mechanical power in rotary motion from the energy of steam at temperature and pressure above that of an available sink. A turbine operated by highly pressurized steam directed against vanes on a rotor.HEAT ENGINE is a physical or theoretical device that converts thermal anergy to mechnical out put.....it converts heat energy into work.
What is a steam turbine?
It is an engine.A steam turbine is a heat engine that uses the expansion of steam passing through stationary nozzles and blades on a shaft to turn the shaft. The steam can move through the turbine axially (one end of shaft to the other end), radially (shaft to outer casing), or tangentially (around the outer edges of the turbine wheel). In an impulse turbine, the steam is expanded in nozzles and pushes the blades. In a reaction turbine the steam is expanded in the nozzles AND in the blades, the reaction of the expansion of the steam pushes away from the blades spinning the wheel in the process. The expansion of the steam is necessary to increase its velocity through the turbine.
What is the difference between steam turbine and water turbine?
The difference is that geysers are way much hotter than the steam from hot springs. The geysers can give you 3rd degree burns. But so can the steam from hot springs if you're in there to long.
A kind of engine which uses water steam or heat that starts with tur?
Turbine.
