WorksheetsHow Do Steam Engines Work?
Total questions: 17
Worksheet time: 17mins
How does the temperature of the steam allow the piston to operate?
It turns into fire
The hot temperature caused the steam to expand and push the piston
The heat rises and causes entropy in the air, making things explode and push the piston
The steam turns into water and floods the piston
What are steam engines used for?
locomotives
air balloons
pumps
submarines
How did steam engines affect the Industrial Revolution?
Slowed down the Industrial Revolution to a snail's pace
Women were enslaved to working the steamer engines
Made airplanes go really fast because they had better engines, and made submarines go slower because the engine weighed it down.
Allowed people to have factories away from rivers, and created more efficient transportation
The steam that exits the steam engine is called (a) .
What kind of energy does the steam engine transform?
Heat to mechanical
Positive to negative
Steam to STRENGTH
Kinetic to potential
What does the steam engine do the wheel?
Pulls it inside and heats it up
Inflates it with air
Pushes the piston and spins it
Makes it moist
What is the part of the engine that pushes the steam out?
the piston
the slime block
the ears
the condenser
What does the condenser do?
Evaporate
Condenses the milk
Cools the steam down
Heats up
What are steam engines fueled by?
Water, fire, earth, air
Coal, wood, oil
Gas, electricity, solar power
Hatred, spite, revenge
What does this definition mean?
"The theoretical maximum efficiency one can get when a heat engine is operating is operating between two temperatures" (EGEE)
The Theory of Maximums
Carrot Efficiency
Garnet Efficiency
Carnot Efficiency
True or False: Steam engines are heat engines?
True
False
What does the boiler do?
Boils the water so it evaporates and turns into steam
Boils pasta
Condenses the water and turns it into condensation
Broils chicken
How do you calculate Carnot Efficiency?
T(cold) - T(hot)
----------------
T(cold)
Mild salsa - Hot salsa
----------------
Not spicy salsa
T(hot) - T(cold)
----------------
T(hot)
T(hot)/s - T(cold)/s
What has more entropy in the steam engine?
Steam
Boiled water
Wheels
Steel
How does higher pressure affect the steam engine?
Makes it colder
Makes it more efficient
Makes it cry
Makes it release more steam
What kind of engine is Thomas the Train?
TANK
COMBUSTION
JET
STEAM
