Question
- what occurs in a steam engine?
○ all heat is used for work
○ fuel is burned inside the engine
○ fuel is burned outside the engine
Brief Explanations
- For the first option: In a steam engine, not all heat is used for work (some is lost), so this is incorrect.
- For the second option: Steam engines are external combustion engines, so fuel is not burned inside the engine.
- For the third option: Steam engines burn fuel (like coal, wood) outside the engine to heat water and produce steam, which then does work inside the engine. So this is correct.
