V-Shaped Steam Engine Model SolidWorks

A steam engine is a reciprocating power machine that converts the energy of steam into mechanical work. The advent of the steam engine caused the industrial revolution of the 18th century. It remained the world’s most important prime mover until the early 20th century, when it gradually gave way to internal combustion engines and steam turbines, among others.
A steam engine requires a boiler that boils water to produce high-pressure steam, and this boiler can use wood, coal, oil or natural gas or even combustible garbage as a heat source. The expansion of the steam pushes the piston to do work.
