What replaced the steam engine?
diesel and gasoline engines
Why do we use throttle valve in steam engines?
For a steam engine, the steam(throttle) valve that sets the engine speed/power is often known as a regulator. k.Shiva
What type of cycle used in steam turbine?
Rankine cycle is used in steam turbine
How does the rotary steam engine work?
The rotary steam engine has two identical lobed gears inside a tightly sealed casing to which each lobe of each gear is sealed often with a sliding vane to prevent slippage. One gear may be free spinning, it imparts its power to the other gear, the second gear (or both) drives a shaft which is often connected to a pump or pumps. The steam enters the engine at one side between the gears, it causes the gears to rotate and the steam moves outward around the periphery of the casing, expanding [due to the shape of the casing] as it pushes the gear lobes around to the exhaust side of the engine, where the steam is exhausted either to the atmosphere or a jet condenser, for reuse. Steam power fire engines typically used rotary steam engines. **See the attached Image below.
What type of feed pump are used in steam turbines?
Actually feed pump in the boiler is used to send water inboiler that is converted into steam whose kinetic energyis used to produce electricity. This pump can be driven byelectricity or steam from Turbine. In steam driven pumps, steam from tubine is bledand used to drive the impeller of pumpand send water in boiler.
What forms of energy was there in the past?
With steam engines, steam was used for energy. Windmills also made it possible to use wind to create energy.
What were the first steam engines used for?
The first steam engines used for pumping water out of mines.
Where are steam engines most widely used?
I believe steam engines are still widely used in China
Who used steam engines?
== ==
Do they still make steam engines?
Yes, turbines used today are radial steam engines.
What were the steam engines first use?
The first steam engines used for pumping water out of mines.
Are steam engines still used in modern industries and transportation systems?
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.
What is the definition of the word 'hydronic'?
Hydronics is the use of liquid water for transferring heat in temperature heating or cooling systems. Hydronics is used in steam engines in the past, and is used in many car engines today.
Are steam engines still being used?
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.
How are steam engines used?
In the years ranging from 1825 to about 1964, steam engines were used on the railway transportation systems of most of the world. steam trains are the locomotives that have the large wheels. ( google your local railway museum ) mean while, from 1890 to 1920, steam engines where used as steam tractors used for field work. today, most steam trains today, are gone. however, steam engines are used to power electric genorators. By the way, they also expiramented with a steam car too, some sucedded. but had a tendency to blow up in your face. today most steam trains, tractors, and cars. have been replaced by gasoline and diesel engines.
What is the steam engine's application today?
Most steam engines except those used on tourist railroads have been replaced with the more efficient steam turbine engines.
What things run on steam?
steam is used on things such as railway engines and standby generators.
