Where were the engines located in the Titanic?
She was steam-powered. Titanic had two 4-cylinder steam reciprocating (piston)engines which were each two stories tall and drove the two wing screws (propellers). They each had a high-pressure cylinder, an intermediate-pressure cylinder, and two low-pressure cylinders. The steam ejected from the low-pressure cylinders of these two engines fed the low-pressure Parsons steam turbine which drove the center screw. The turbine was there to wring the last ounce of drive from the steam before it was sent off to the main condensers. The steam for the engines was provided by 29 coal-fired boilers; 24 of these were double-ended (meaning they had 3 furnaces on each side) and the remaining 5 were single-ended. The normal operating pressure for the boilers was around 215 psi. This engine layout is called a "triple expansion." Steam from the boilers entered the high-pressure cylinders of each reciprocating engine via the intake headers. From there, the steam went into the intermediate and then the low pressure cylinders. From the low-pressure cylinders, some steam was fed to the Parsons turbine and some was carried out via the exhaust headers. From here, the steam was sent off to the main condensers where it was condensed back into water and fed back to the boilers to repeat the cycle. While this was going on, valve lifters at the top of the cylinders were opened and closed by what's called an "eccentric link" to feed steam into the cylinders and eject it. Steam forced the pistons up and down, moving the connecting rods which turned the crankshafts, flywheels, and propeller shafts--similar to the way an automobile engine works. Titanic's engines produced around 45,000 horsepower altogether. The steam turbine is basically a series of fans arranged in a row. These fans are turned by the action of steam being forced through the blades, which provide the torque to turn the propeller shaft. As with the reciprocating engines, reduction gear was used to make the ship's screws turn fewer revolutions than the engines.
Why did the Titanic not implode with the pressure at that depth?
What type of pressure. Steam engines operate on high-pressure water vapor, that is steam, the higher the pressure- in lay terms, the more work one can get out of the steam- hence greater power, she had two multiple expansion reciprocating engines of outsize nature- naturally, and one turbine running on exhaust steam and only in forward gear- overdrive of sorts. This does not count engines used on cranes, steam winches, the power-steering gear, and numerous other auxiliaries- there was a separate engine plant for what were called ( electricity engines) steam generators to supply electric power for all domestic appliances ( including elevators, hoists, etc and of course lighting. The pressures involved would vary, Marine engineers being conservative blokes, but anything from l50-maybe 300 Pounds per square inch might be used, more during speed trials, a good question.
Which Monster High video has robbeca steam in it?
Umm robbeca steam isnt in monster high yet she is a new release and they didnt put her in it yet
What is high Tom - Tom?
It is the name of the first railroad steam engine in the U.S, invented by Peter Cooper in 1830.So Tom Thumb: First Railroad Steam Engine...Fun fact:In a race between the engine and a horse, the horse won. Yet the B&O railroad owners were convinced that steam engines were the engines of the future.The Tom Thumb was also the name of the small boat in which explorers George Bass and Matthew Flinders underwent extensive exploration south of Sydney, Australia, including the circumnavigation of what was then Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania).
Who invented the high pressure steam engine?
It was NOT James Watt that invented the high-pressure steam engine. James Watt made very useful improvements to Newcomen's low-pressure steam engine, while several people experimented in the following years with high-pressure steam. It was Richard Trevithick, however, who invented the first proven, high-pressure steam engine, particularly in his Pen-y-Darren locomotive.
What year did oliver evans invent the high pressure steam engine?

gumball who ivented high pressure steam broilers
What is the pressure of high pressure steam?
will density of water is equal to density of steam at high pressures and temperatures
High pressure steam turns the blades of?

In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated steam?
In order for a high temperature boiler or steam engine to produce superheated water, or steam?
What does the steam boiler do?
Boils water to create high pressure steam.
Advantages and disadvantages on steam engine?
Steam engine advantages Any suitable form of energy can be used to make steam Not affected much by high altitudes Water can be re-used Steam engine disadvantages Has low efficiency, around 30% Are expensive to buy and run Give off a lot of pollution Take time to start Dangerous to use because of high pressure of steam Only 30% of the steam is used Lots of energy is needed to make the steam
What is flashsteam?
Flash steam is steam that is produced when high temperature high pressure water is released to the atmosphere.
What is the density of high pressure steam?
will density of water is equal to density of steam at high pressures and temperatures
Is the expansion of superheated steam isothermal?
Expansion of steam in either the saturated or superheated state is generally not isothermal. When steam expands from a high pressure to a lower pressure the temperature will be reduced, unless energy is added during the process. When steam expands in an engine such as a steam turbine, the temperature reduction is greater than during free expansion
What kind of engine does a steam cleaner use?
Steam car wash using a high pressure steam machine to clean an engine.Steam Cleaners and Steam Vapor Cleaners are an environmentally safe cleaning system utilizing tap water, heat and pressure to make hotter steam vapor. A safe, chemical free, cleaning and sanitizing cleaning system.
