When the engine order telegraph put the lever command to finished with engine?
Are you asking "What does the position 'Finished With Engine' mean?" If that is the question, the answer is simple. When a ship has been properly secured to a dock, or has anchored, the bridge will notify the engine room that they are done maneuvering and are "finished with engine". On a steam ship, steam is taken off the main turbines and vacuum is usually broken on the main condenser. The jacking gear is engaged and the turbines are allowed to cool down. On a diesel, fuel oil pumps are stopped, cooling water shut down, ect. In each case, the engines will not be immediately available if maneuvering must resume.
How steam turbine exhaust hood temp increased?
as the air passes through adiabatic compression volume shrinks and hence temperature rises
How do you set timing on 2 stroke 2 cylinder engines?
Hi, The answer for your question would be, the timing will set based on crank angle position only as it is done in 4 stroke engine. It differs for a TBI based engine and GDI based engine.
What is meant by engine load and is it the same as engine torque?
engine load is how muchdemand is placed on the engine for power such as playing the music, rolling down the windows and running the A/C system and using the wipers while starting the vehicle for example is all load it can be one of these or all of these does not matter each and everything you do is a load on the engine... Torque is how much power the engine puts out to actually turn the gears to move the vehicle or how much force the engine produces to apply to the gear set to turn the wheels... some gear sets such as 4x4 gear sets increase engine torque considerably when used in low or granny gear or crawl modes in almost all cases the bigger your engine the more baseline torque you can produce which will be transferred to your gear sets via the transmission.
What is mean effective pressure in IC engine?
Mean effective pressure (mep ) is a parameter indicating a engine's performance, which is obtained by dividing mechanical work done in a cycle (W)by volume swept in a cycle (V). Clearly work is the product of pressure and volume or torque and angle. Since torque is a measurable quantity, the work per cycle can be calculated as W = T * 2pi ( 2 stroke engine), W = T * 4pi ( 4 stroke engine) therefore mep = W / V = T * 2pi / V or T * 4pi / V

How did the work by the steam engine compare to work done by horse?

how did work done by the steam engen compare to the horses?
The work done by the steam engine was definitely very more efficient, but not as reliable. At the beginnings of this this, things were being tested, and anything could go wrong. With a horse, in whatever work you’re referring to, it was slower, but a lot more reliable because the use of horses was more well known than the use of engines. Of course a horse breaks down once in awhile, but you at least had a good idea when it would happen plus, you might have spare horses to replace them. With a steam engine, everything had to be precisely made for the engine, unless it was manufactured with other engines that were made in the same manner it was.
What did people do before the steam engine?
Used human or animal effort to get things done.
Why were steam engines invented?
It started with mines. Many mines had water seeping into them and had to be continuously pumped dry to allow the work to continue. That pumping was very hard work. The first steam engines were used to power those pumps in a more efficient manner.After that, people quickly started experimenting where else a steam engine could be used as a power source, to replace windmills, water wheels etc.The first steam engines were needed to remove water from mines, especially tin mines in Cornwall, UK The locomotive, a moving steam engine, was needed to pull wagons loaded with coal from the coal mines of Northumberland which was previously done by horses. Later they were used to pull people because they were quicker than the horse and carriage. Answer no because befor they used horses as ttransportation for goods!It was a technological advancement. It was part of the industrial revolution!
What changed in Britain between 1750 1900?
Between 1750 and 1900, the workplace changed a lot because of the industrial revolution. Before the late 1700, everything was done by hand, but after the development of the steam engine, almost every thing could be done by machine, powered by steam.
Why is superheating considered to be good in certain cases?
In steam engines you must superheat the steam to vaporize all of the microscopic water droplets suspended in it from when the steam was initially produced in the boiler. If this is not done those water droplets will pit the pistons and valves (or the turbine blades) eventually causing severe damage and possibly catastrophic failure of the steam engine.
Comparison between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder. like 99.9% of engines today An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating prosses is done in an boiler out side the engine.
Do some horse farmers tail dock horses?
Tail docking was orignally done to prevent the tail from becoming entangled in the harness of draught and carriage horses. Today, it is done infrequently and more likely to be done to draught horses.
How would you compare your pulse rates in the two activities you have done?

What must be done for water to turn into steam?
Heat it.
Difference between internal combustion engines and external combustion engines?
In an Internal Combustion Engine, the fuel is burned in the cylinder or vessel. Eg. Diesel or Petrol engine used in Cars.Internal engine has its energy ignited in the cylinder, like 99.9% of engines today.In an External Combustion Engine, the internal working fuel is not burned. Here the fluid is being heated from an external source. The fuel is heated and expanded through the internal mechanism of the engine resulting in work. Eg. Steam Turbine, Steam engine Trains. An external combustion example is a steam engine where the heating process is done in an boiler out side the engine.
