Are diesel engines more polluted than steam engines?

Of an individual diesel engine and an individual steam engine of the same energy output the diesel engine would be less polluting. It is far more efficient. However, there are far more diesel engines than steam engines in the world today so overall diesel engines pollute more than steam engines.

Difference between steam engine and diesel engine?

Steam engine: external combustion (the fuel is burnt in the boiler and the steam led through pipes etc to the power cylinder(s). Diesel (and petrol and gas): internal combustion - the fuel is burnt in the cylinder. Otherwise they are all Heat Engines.


Does fossil fuel generate electricity?

Fuel is burned in power stations to generate heat, which is then used to produce steam. This steam drives turbines, which in turn spin generators to produce electricity. This process is the basis of most power generation plants around the world.


What are was the major fuel for trains and ships?

The main fuel IS diesel fuel for both both trains and ships, most freight trains run on electric motors that are powered in most cases by diesel engined generators, while passenger trains are powered by diesel, or directly from an overhead power line, or electrified rail. Trains of course used to be powered by steam, fired by wood or coal. old sailing ships obviously used to be powered by wind and/or manpower. Later they were powered by steam, usually coal fired, and then by diesel fuel.


What is the evolution from steam engines?

Steam engines (trains) evolved in to diesel and then electric. Steam engines like beam engines gave way to massive turbines many fueled by electric and other fossil fuel


Which one generate more pollution between the diesel and petrol engine and why?

Diesel is a lower grade of fuel than say, 95 octane unleaded, hence it creates more pollution.
