Steam engines were and are far less efficient than internal combustion engines.
Nope. Absolutely false.
Thee most efficient engine made in the world is steam.
Lets see your ICE engines develop in excess of 4 to 5 thousand HP with two cylinders.
Cant do it, and you know it.
What the other guy said. Steam is THE propulsion source for energy creation.
Also think of steam locos. 2 tiny cylinders up front propel not only itself but an entire loaded train of 100 cars at honest speeds. That is serious power.
True. But the slow combustion doesn’t create nerve gases like high compression engines do. Thee are always trade offs.
Sorry, but you are full of shiff on this one.
Steam is the best heat conversions devised by man as measured in BTUs, an ISO unit.
That is the energy required to produce work.
p=mv.
I’m not going to teach you guys physics and calculus.
To put in laymans terms,
Why do most all major fossil/nuke fueled powered plants use steam to generate electricity?
Because it is more efficent!
