First i'd like to say that centenary is ugly and retarded.
>>1522741>physics is the same for everyone. If running on the flat - if speeds are kept the same, energy usage is the sameTrue. Problem is you must compare Boiler-Turbine vs Diesel. Basically engine uses only its burn product expansion for movement and sheds heat. Boiler burns fuel in optimal conditions to extract 83..91% of chemical energy.
Why not add coolant water driven extra steam cylinder in ICUs? :D
Would you call it Steamel, Dieseam or Steasel?
