The steam engine operates on the principle of converting thermal energy from steam into mechanical work. Water is heated in a boiler to produce steam, which expands and creates pressure. This pressure drives a piston or turbine, converting the steam's energy into motion. The cycle is repeated as the steam is condensed back into water, allowing for continuous operation.

No. Not always (but usually), sometimes the process of discovery can be reversed. The steam engine is one example. The only thing the inventors of the steam engine knew was that steam from boiling water could move the engine.
No. The steam engine came along during the industrial revolution and drove most of the mills and their machinery. It was the primary driving force behind industrialization.
A steam engine is an external combustion engine. As the steam engine combusts outside of the engine itself.
A rotary steam engine was a fire engine basically
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.
the steam engine was improved in 1769.

Steam
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.
