Steam engines presently produce more power than all other types of engines combined. Most steam engines take the form of the steam turbine engine. The steam turbine is responsible for generating about 86% of the electric power used on this planet.
Reciprocating steam engines are still in use for limited applications, but are generally considered obsolete. Steam engines, either the piston or turbine type were used on most big ships until recently, and there are still a few steam locomotives about.
Yes, steam engines are still used in some modern industries and technologies, particularly in power generation and certain types of transportation.
Yes, steam engines are still used in some modern industries and transportation systems, particularly in heritage railways, steamboats, and certain industrial applications where steam power is preferred. However, they are not as commonly used as they were in the past due to the widespread adoption of more efficient and advanced technologies such as diesel engines and electric motors.
Yes, steam engines are still used in some modern industries and transportation systems today, although they are not as common as they once were. They are primarily used in niche applications where their unique capabilities are advantageous, such as in certain power plants and heritage railways.
Steam engines are used in modern industries and applications today primarily for power generation and propulsion. They are commonly found in power plants, locomotives, and certain types of ships. Steam engines convert heat energy into mechanical energy, making them efficient for tasks that require a high level of power output.
No, not all steam engines use coal as fuel. While many traditional steam engines, especially those from the 19th and early 20th centuries, were coal-fired, steam engines can also use other fuels such as wood, oil, or even biomass. The choice of fuel often depends on the design of the engine and the availability of resources. Modern steam engines, such as those used in some power plants, may utilize different fuels or technologies altogether.
I believe steam engines are still widely used in China
Yes, turbines used today are radial steam engines.

Aircraft designers didn't use steam engines in 1903, either.
Yes, steam engines are still used in some modern industries and technologies, particularly in power generation and certain types of transportation.
The first steam engines used for pumping water out of mines.
Coal fired steam driven power stations are still in use
Yes, steam engines are still used in some modern industries and transportation systems, particularly in heritage railways, steamboats, and certain industrial applications where steam power is preferred. However, they are not as commonly used as they were in the past due to the widespread adoption of more efficient and advanced technologies such as diesel engines and electric motors.

Steam generators are being used in many coal plants. There it is used to fuel the engines that process newly found coal so that it may be refined and used.
