The temperature of steam in a steam engine can reach up to about 450°F (232°C) or higher, depending on the pressure. In high-pressure steam engines, temperatures can exceed 600°F (315°C). However, the temperature is limited by the materials used in the engine and safety concerns, as excessive heat can lead to failure or dangerous accidents. The efficiency and performance of a steam engine are closely related to the temperature and pressure of the steam it generates.

What was wrong with Newcomen's steam engine before James Watt improved it?

The steam cylinder was heated by steam then cooled to condense the steam. This caused thermal stress and cracking. James Watt corrected that with a separate condenser, allowing the cylinder to remain hot.


Can you clean a vehicles engine using a pressure hose?

Absolutely - it's commonly called 'steam-cleaning'. A jet of hot, pressurised steam is directed at the engine compartment, and it literally 'blasts' the accumulated grime and dirt off the surfaces.
