What is a kind of engine that uses water steam or heat that starts with tur?

The word is "turbine".


What energy does the steam engine use?

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.


What does train steam engine use fuel for?

A steam engine uses fuel to generate heat, which converts water into steam. This steam then expands and drives pistons or turbines, creating mechanical energy to power the train. Common fuels include coal, wood, or oil, which are burned in a firebox to produce the necessary heat for steam production.


What is a steamboat?

A steamboat uses a steam engine similar to those on a steam locomotive. An external wood or coal fire heats water in a boiler, and the pressure of its expansion into steam is used to turn a shaft that is connected to paddlewheels, or to a propeller blade. Steamboats were the first alternative to sailing vessels, and replaced them as the major form of marine vessels. Modern steam turbines (invented in 1884) continue to be used for the generation of electricity worldwide.


How much water does a steam engine use?

The amount of water a steam engine uses can vary significantly depending on its size, design, and operational conditions. On average, a steam locomotive might consume about 3 to 5 gallons of water per mile traveled. However, larger steam engines or those used in industrial settings can use much more, sometimes hundreds of gallons per hour, especially during heavy operations. Efficient water management is crucial for optimal performance and steam generation.
