…foundations for the use of steam power are often traced to the experimental work of the French physicist Denis Papin. In 1679 Papin invented a type of pressure cooker, a closed vessel with a tightly fitting lid that confined steam until high pressure was generated. Observing that the steam in…

It should work since it's a Steam play game but don't take my word for it. If the game is on steam as 'steamplay' then a mac code will work for the windows version and vice versa. I got the first expansion for Civ 5 that way when Amazon had the mac version on sale for cheap.

Steam is the ultimate destination for playing, discussing, and creating games.

Steam power constitutes an important power source for industrial society. Water is heated to steam in power plants, and the pressurized steam drives turbines that produce electrical current. The thermal energy of steam is thus converted to mechanical energy, which in turn is converted into…

The shift to steam was, in a sense, a return to the principle of self-contained propulsion earlier embodied in the oar-driven ship. The gain in control was of course an immeasurable improvement for the long haul, but for a time the inordinate amount of space that had to…

The steam engine provided the first practical means of generating power from heat to augment the old sources of power from muscle, wind, and water. One of the first challenges to the new profession of mechanical engineering was to increase thermal efficiencies and power; this was…

High-pressure steam engines rapidly became popular in America, partly as a result of Evans’ initiative and partly because very few Watt-type low-pressure engines crossed the Atlantic. Trevithick quickly applied his engine to a vehicle, making the first successful steam locomotive for the Penydarren tramroad in South…

The introduction of steam-driven machinery—much of it fueled by coal—brought new industries into being or transformed older ones. Coal was replacing wood as a fuel especially in England and northern France, where deforestation had made wood scarce. New demands stimulated growth in the coal-mining industry, yet the organization…
