The cold water is used to cool down the steam in the cylinder of the engine. A jet of water from the cold-water reservoir enters the cylinder at the end of the up-stroke. This creates a vacuum due to the condensation of the steam. The pressure of the air above the piston now forces it down, raising the pump rods. This allows the engine work on indefinitely.

What year was the steam engine invented in?
He didn't. The steam engine was invented by James Watt in 1712. Trevithick developed an improved high pressure steam engine in 1800. He then invented the steam locomotive in 1803 and actually built a passenger railway in London in 1812. Thomas Newcomen gave his name to atmospheric steam engines, which he invented. The first was installed in 1712 close to Dudley Castle in the Black Country. He had to share his success with Thomas Savery, who had previously taken out a general patent covering all the possible means of pumping water by ateam power.
What is 'consume their own smoke'relating to steam carriages during the 1860s?
Answer Steam engines would have water heated in large tanks and then the steam that was created was harnessed and used to power the engine. I believe this is what this means by "consuming their own smoke." Hope this helps.
How did the first steam engine look like?

What is the steam ingein?
A steam engine is a heat engine. A steam engine uses boiling water to produce mechanical work. It uses the steam from the boiling water as its working fluid.
What kind of engine uses heated water for power?
It is a steam engine.
How is steam created in a steam engine?
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.
How is steam made in a steam engine?
Steam in a steam engine is made by heating water in a boiler until it turns into steam. The steam is then directed into a cylinder where it pushes a piston, creating mechanical energy that powers the engine.

What occurs in a steam engine?
Water is heated to produce steam. The steam is used to power the engine. The power from the engine does the work or powers other instruments that do the work.
What is the function of super heater?
A superheater increases the temperature of the steam for use in a turbine or an engine. Without the additional heat, a multi-stage turbine or engine will get moisture (water) in the lower pressure stages as the steam cools, causing erosion of the blades or cylinders.
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated steam?
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated water, or steam?
Who was The first successful steam engine was built in 1712?
The first successful steam engine was built by Thomas Newcomen in 1712. This engine was designed primarily for pumping water out of mines and marked a significant advancement in steam technology. Newcomen's design utilized atmospheric pressure to create a vacuum, allowing the engine to function effectively. His work laid the foundation for future developments in steam power, paving the way for the Industrial Revolution.
What occurs in a steam?
