Steam Engine

The steam engine is a type of heat engine that converts steam energy into mechanical work. It played a crucial role in the Industrial Revolution, powering machinery, locomotives, and ships, and remains an important historical and engineering concept.
Here's a brief breakdown of how a steam engine works:
Boiler: Water is heated in a boiler to produce steam. The heat source can be coal, wood, oil, or any combustible material.
Steam Expansion: The high-pressure steam is directed into a cylinder. Inside the cylinder, the steam expands and pushes a piston or moves a turbine blade.
Piston Movement: In a reciprocating steam engine, the steam pushes a piston, which moves back and forth. This linear motion can then be converted into rotational motion to drive machinery.
Exhaust: After the steam has done its work, it's released from the cylinder and can either be condensed back into water for reuse or released into the atmosphere.
Types of Steam Engines:
Reciprocating Steam Engine: Uses pistons and cylinders.
Steam Turbine: More modern and efficient, used primarily for electricity generation, with the steam turning a rotor.
