Difference between Compound engine and Watt steam engine

Compound engine vs. Watt steam engine

A compound engine is an engine that has more than one stage for recovering energy from the same working fluid, with the exhaust from the first stage passing through the second stage, and in some cases then on to another subsequent stage or even stages. The Watt steam engine (alternatively known as the Boulton and Watt steam engine) was the first type of steam engine to make use of a separate condenser.

Similarities between Compound engine and Watt steam engine

Compound engine and Watt steam engine have 4 things in common (in Unionpedia): Condenser (heat transfer), Newcomen atmospheric engine, Single- and double-acting cylinders, Steam engine.

Condenser (heat transfer)

In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state, by cooling it.
