Detailed Solution

The steam engine was invented by Thomas Savery.
To perform mechanical work, a steam engine requires steam as its working fluid. The pressure of the steam produces a force that the steam engine uses to move a piston back and forth inside a cylinder. This pushing force can be transformed into a rotational force for labour using a connecting rod and crank. Thomas Savery made the first commercially successful water pump in 1698. The water was lifted by employing a vacuum formed by condensing steam, followed by applying steam pressure to raise it even higher.
