In a steam engine, water is heated in a boiler to produce steam, which expands and creates pressure. This high-pressure steam is then directed into a cylinder, pushing a piston to create mechanical work. As the steam cools and condenses, it returns to the boiler to be reheated, continuing the cycle. This process converts thermal energy from the steam into kinetic energy, enabling the engine to perform tasks such as powering locomotives or machinery.

What is meant by the term external combustion engine?
A steam engine is a good example External combustion means the burning of fuel happens away from where the conversion to motion happens.
What type of combustion engine in the steam engine?
A steam engine is an external combustion engine. As the steam engine combusts outside of the engine itself.
What is the difference between an external combustion engine and internal combustion engine?
An external combustion engine is where something is burning outside of the actual engine and the energy is transmitted to the engine via something. (e.g. boiler creates steam that goes to the engine a.k.a. steam engine) In an internal combustion engine, the burning happens in the actual cylinders of the engine. (e.g. car engine)
What was the rotary steam engine?
A rotary steam engine was a fire engine basically
How is steam created in a steam engine?
Steam is created in a steam engine by heating water in a boiler until it turns into steam. The steam then builds up pressure, which is used to power the engine and drive machinery.

What are steam engines?
noun: an engine worked by steam, typically one in which a sliding piston in a cylinder is moved by the expansive action of the steam generated in a boiler.A steam engine is an external combustion engine. As the steam engine combusts outside of the engine itself.
How is steam made in a steam engine?
Steam in a steam engine is made by heating water in a boiler until it turns into steam. The steam is then directed into a cylinder where it pushes a piston, creating mechanical energy that powers the engine.
What happens if your radiator goes out?
