350.HOW DOES A STEAM ENGINE WORK?

In trying to build machines that do work for him, man has usually freed, or changed, or channeled the forces that exist in nature. When we boil water we change it into a gas, which we call steam. This gas tries to expand, that is, push aside or ahead whatever is in its way. A steam engine uses this force in steam to do work.
