What are 5 inventions that changed industry in the late 1600s and in the 1700s?
the flying shuttle , spinning jenny , water frame , steam engine , and mule were invented .
When and why were steam trains first invented?
Although James Watt is most strongly associated with the invention of the steam engine as an engine, interestingly, the first engine was patented by Thomas Savery in 1698. James Watt, a Scotsman, improved on the design of the steam engine in the second half of the 18th century, so that it could power the industrial revolution and eventually locomotive travel.The man who first put steam engines on rails was Richard Trevithick, who built a 'Pennydarren tram road engine' for a line in South Wales, UK, to replace horses that had been pulling the wagons.In 1804, Trevithick's engine succeeded in pulling 10 tons of iron and 70 men to a distance of nearly 10 miles from Pennydarren near the industrial town of Merthyr Tydfil, at a speed of 5 miles per hour. Recognition eluded Trevithick in his lifetime, and his engines were seen as just a novelty. However, others developed the idea, and by 1845, Britain was covered by 2440 miles of railways, carrying 30 million passengersThe prime point of the steam locomotive was to carry natural resources such as iron and coal... and also passengers.Richard Trevithick (13 April 1771 - 22 April 1833) a British inventor, built the first full-scale working railway Steam Locomotive. On 21 February 1804 the world's first railway journey took place as Trevithick's unnamed steam locomotive hauled a train along the tramway of the Pennydarren ironworks, near Merthyr Tydvil in Wales, Great Britain.George Stephenson (9 June 1781 - 12 August 1848) a British civil engineer and mechanical engineer who built the first public railway line in the world to use steam locomotives and is known as the "Father of Railways".So, Trevithick invented the first train, Stephenson the first public railway line and the original Steam locomotive was invented and patented by James Watt in 1784, following many years of his work in improving steam engines in general.**Early prototypes of Locomotive were built such as Scottish Inventor William Murdoch 1784.
How much steam to get MW?
It depends on many parameters. Generally between 3 to 5 Tonnes per Hour.
To produce 5 MW of electricity how much steam pressure is needed and water in relevancy. What temperature is needed to produce it and what size pipe should be piped into the steam turbine?
That is a question that does not have one single answer. For instance, if the pressure of the steam is raised, less steam is needed. As pressure rises, temperature will also rise due to adiabatic work done on the steam. Also, higher temperatures are needed at higher pressures to make sure the steam does not condense. Raising the temperature of the steam at a given pressure also means that less steam is needed to provide the same amount of energy. Efficiency will also vary, depending on the turbine, and other factors, such ascondenser vacuum. In general, running a pressure around 40 - 45 PSI, it will take 20,000 - 25,000 pounds of steam per hour to generate one megawatt of electricity during that hour. This is with steam that is just above saturation (around 285°F). So, for 5 MW, you'd need around 100,000 pounds of steam an hour. The pipe size would depend on the turbine. A 55 MW turbine (common for geothermal), might have two pipes bringing steam in (one per side), both of which are around 30" in diameter. For 100,000 pounds of steam an hour, much smaller pipes would suffice. However, expanding and then compressing the steam repeatedly is something you want to avoid. Note that these figures reflect more of a geothermal application. The pressure and temperature of steam from a boiler will typically be much higher.
Why mostly steam is used to rotate a turbine?
The Rankine cycle is one where a closed loop containing water/steam is used to transfer energy from an energy source such as a coal fired furnace or a nuclear reactor to a steam turbine/generator. It is the way all such power plants work, but not plants using gas turbines or combustion turbines which don't use a water/steam circuit. In the Rankine cycle there are progressive stages: 1. Cool feedwater is pumped at high pressure into a boiler which is heated by the furnace or nuclear reactor 2. The water is heated and evaporated at high pressure, becoming steam 3. The steam is further heated to become superheated 4. The steam is admitted to the HP end of the steam turbine, and it progresses in stages to the LP end by which time it is cooled and under vacuum (the vacuum is maintained by external cooling water and increases the efficiency considerably by getting the maximum energy out of the steam) 5. The steam condenses in the turbine condenser under vacuum, to produce cool water, and hence back to stage 1. Electrical energy is extracted by the generator which is coupled to the shaft of the turbine, but that is not really part of the Rankine cycle, which is described in thermodynamic terms only.
