What are the different between the watt steam engine and the internal combustion engine?
They are completely different engines; however, the most fundamental difference is that the Watt steam engine runs on steam, whereas the internal combustion engine runs on fuel oil.
Are diesel engines more polluted than steam engines?
Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.
WHAT is more powerful steam engine or diesel engine?
The diesel engine is generally more powerful than a steam engine, primarily due to its higher thermal efficiency and ability to generate greater torque. Diesel engines can deliver more power in a smaller and lighter package, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from vehicles to heavy machinery. While steam engines can produce significant power, they are often less efficient and require more maintenance due to their complexity and reliance on water and fuel sources. Overall, diesel engines are more versatile and powerful for modern use.
What was the relationship between the steam engine and the coal mine?
The steam engine needs coal, the coal comes from the coal mine
How much does a train engine weigh?
The weight of a train engine varies depending on the type of engine. A diesel engine can weigh as much as 250 tons while a steam engine would be about 100 tons.
Difference between steam engine and diesel engine?
Steam engine: external combustion (the fuel is burnt in the boiler and the steam led through pipes etc to the power cylinder(s). Diesel (and petrol and gas): internal combustion - the fuel is burnt in the cylinder. Otherwise they are all Heat Engines.
Difference between internal combustion engines and steam engines?
Internal combustion engine is where the fuel is ignited in the cylinder to make the piston move, petrol or diesel. A steam engine has an external pressure vessel to supply the steam to the cylinder to push the piston. the is no combustion in the engine as such.
What did the steam engine replace?
The Diesel engine
Which engine was made after the invention of the steam engine?
diesel engine
Why diesel engine trains more used compare to steam engine trains?
Efficiency and cost. The maintenance of a steam engine can be very costly as compared to a diesel engine as well.
Is there any difference between a locomotive and a steam train?
A locomotive (also called an engine) is a vehicle that provides the power to pull (or push) a train. As well as the locomotive, the train consist of the vehicles which actually contain what is being transported. These can be either freight wagons, or passenger carriages. Locomotives are classified depending on how they are powered. The first locomotives were steam powered (a 'steam engine'), modern locomotives are either powered by electricity or by a diesel engine (an 'electric locomotive' or a 'diesel locomotive'). A steam train is a train which is being powered by a steam engine. Some passenger trains have diesel or electric motors under the carriages and do not need a separate locomotive.
What replaced the steam engine?
diesel and gasoline engines
What did people use before the diesel engine?
Steam engines.

What does Diesel call other trains on Thomas the Tank Engine?
Diesel calls steam engines "Steamies."
How did the diesel engine get its name?
Diesel engines were named after Rudolf Diesel (1858 - 1913) who was a German mechanical engineer. He invented the diesel engine to replace slower steam engines. Anshika Bangalore
