    Steam Engine: Chemical Energy Mechanical Energy

    Uploaded by

    Guru Mahesh
    Steam engines convert chemical energy from an external fuel source like coal into mechanical energy in two stages: first, the fuel heats water in a boiler converting it to high-pressure steam, then the steam drives the mechanical parts of the engine, providing power. Unlike internal combustion engines, steam engines use an external combustion system with the fuel burned separately to produce steam rather than inside the engine cylinder.

    STEAM ENGINE

    1. Steam engines are an example of energy exchange.


    2. The steam is produced by chemical energy which is then in turn converted
    to mechanical energy.
    3. The steam engine uses an external from of energy e.g. coal as opposed to
    an internal combustion system, lide that of safety, which burns fuel in the
    cylinder. In the interest of safety, this model will use especially designed
    fuel tablets.
    The mechanical energy from the steam engine is
    achieved in 2 stages.

    1. The water in the boiler is heated until it is converted to steam which


    expands and builds up pressure.

    2. The pressure from the steam is then used to drive the mechanical parts of
    the engine.
