steam engines -- greatest inventors -- great inventors Boilers are of two types: Fire tube construction is typical of early maritime installations for boats and ships and the boilers of steam locomotives. In a fire tube boiler, the hot gases from the firebox (a combustion chamber) are passed through tubes connecting perforated end plates.
Read MoreThe term steam engine may also refer to an entire power plant, including boiler/steam generator. A steam engine is a heat engine that converts heat energy to mechanical work using steam as the working fluid. Many, but not all, steam engines are external combustion engines. Steam engines in general allow the use of very many heat sources to produce the steam. Some for example, are powered by
