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.

Does water pressure increases depth increases?

Yes, it does. The more you advance towards the bottom of the ocean, the more the water pressure increases. Which is why you implode before reaching the bottom.


What happens when a submarine reaches crush level?

When a boat reaches its crush depth limit, the inner pressure hull succumbs to the extreme outer sea pressure, causing the hull to implode.


What is implode depth?

Implode depth refers to how many levels deep an implosion or collapse occurs within a system or structure. It is a measure of the extent or severity of the collapse within the system.


Do you implode in space due to the lack of pressure?

No, you do not implode in space due to the lack of pressure. Your body is able to withstand the lack of pressure in space because the pressure inside your body is equal to the pressure outside.


What causes a car window to implode?

A car window might implode when it is exposed to a large change in pressure. For example, a pressure change during a tornado or while sinking into deep water could cause the window to implode.


Do fish implode?

Fish do not tend to implode. Most do not change their depth very quickly and do not have compressible bits like we do. If they are brought to the surface quickly the swim badder can expand and come out of the fish's mouth. Really deep species have specially adapted physiology to cope with the extremely high pressure.


Why does a steamy soda can implode?

The reason a soda can will implode is because it builds pressure on the inside until it cant hold anymore.


How do fish adjust to the differences in the pressure from mid ocean to the surface?

They don't. Fish that live at a high depth stay there for as long as the live, as they would explode when pressure dropped. The same is true for fish that live high up in the ocean: they would implode when pressure rises.

Will breaking a picture tube cause it to implode or to explode?

It will implode, because there is no air pressure inside of the tube, yet there is 14.7 PSI of air on the outside.
