Why is superheating considered to be good in certain cases?

In steam engines you must superheat the steam to vaporize all of the microscopic water droplets suspended in it from when the steam was initially produced in the boiler. If this is not done those water droplets will pit the pistons and valves (or the turbine blades) eventually causing severe damage and possibly catastrophic failure of the steam engine.


What other effects did steam engine have?

The steam engine revolutionized transportation and industry, leading to the expansion of railways and steamships, which facilitated faster movement of goods and people. It also played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution by enabling mass production and increasing efficiency in manufacturing processes. Additionally, the steam engine contributed to urbanization, as factories were built in cities, attracting workers and transforming social structures. Overall, its impact extended beyond economics, influencing cultural and societal changes as well.

What are types of engines other than internal combustion engine?

Steam EngineJet turbine EngineRotary EngineElectric EngineRocket EngineThe term 'engine' was originally coined to differentiate the "internal combustion" motor from all other previous types of motors. In the above mentioned answer, one should note that the jet turbine, the rocket, rotary and perhaps even the steam engines do have some sort of internal combustion. The proper term for the electric should be "Electric Motor"
