Steam Engines

Benjamin Franklin Isherwood

Benson Boiler is a water tube high pressure boiler having forced circulation. It works on the principle that if the boiler pressure is raised to critical pressure (225 kg/cm^2) then there is no formation of steam bubbles Because the steam and water at this pressure will have the same Density. To achieve this water is fed to the boiler at critical pressure . At this pressure water will be directly converted to superheated steam as the latent heat at critical pressure is zero. Overall efficiency of plant is decreased as a lot of energy is consumed by feed water. Operating the boiler at a slightly lower pressure than the critical pressure efficiency can be increased. Thermal efficiency upto 90% can be achieved.

steam turbine is multiple shaft euipment, to avoid the viberation of the shaft train runing, the multiple shaft need to be aligned within tolorance. usually, the rim and face run out checked is request.

Elijah McCoy, a African Canadian from the Canada, invented oil lubricators for steam engines in 1872.

it helps in carrying people and goods to west and many other countries too.

Steam

Diesel fuel is burned in a cylinder, the fuel gives off it's heat to the products of combustion and the air used to burn the fuel. The fuel/gas mixture expands and pushes the piston/rod assembly to the bottom of the crankshaft, the next cylinder continues the process and so on... Each cylinder/ piston turns the crank allowing the first cylinder to rise while the exhaust valve opens expelling the exhaust gases out of the cylinder, the piston is then drawn down with the fuel valve open drawing in a new fuel/ air mix. Again it is compressed to about 9 to 10 atmospheres causing the diesel to ignite from the heat of compression, again propelling the piston/rod assembly downward. This process converts the chemical energy in the fuel into heat (thermal) energy which produces motive energy (aka external energy) in the expansion of the fuel/air mix. This expansion converts the heat energy partially into mechanical energy (the moving piston). The crankshaft then redirects the energy into a rotating shaft, (it is still mechanical energy). The rotating shaft then drives a rotating field inside a stator winding inducing an electric current in the stator windings converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy.

The steam power changed the northern economy by introduction of the railroads which made the inlands feasible for settlement.

It is how they are powered. Electric tools are powered by electricity and pneumatic tools are powered by forced air.

Sorry, but there is nothing another person can do for you to build up your self-esteem. You have to build up your own self-esteem by achieving goals that you set for yourself.

Generally speaking, yes it is the same. It uses the expansion of steam to draw power from the heat energy in the steam. Today's steam engines (turbines) are greatly improved in efficiency over those in use since the 19th century, but they still operate on the same principles.

yes, but not the strongest train of all time. the Union Pacific centennial locomotive holds that record

The first steam engine was Hero's turbine, it is unknown what the horsepower output of it was. It was used as an item of curiosity, and did no real work.

The first practical (useful) steam engine was the Newcomen pumping engine, used to pump water out of mines, it was an improvement over Savery's pump (which did use steam but not an engine) in that it more efficiently made use of the steam, it is estimated that the work output of this engine would have been about 10 to 30 horsepower. The engine used the vacuum created by condensing the steam to drive it.

The Boulton-Watt engine was the first practical engine that used the power of the expansion of steam to drive the piston, in both directions, thus improving the efficiency of the engine. The horsepower of this engine was about 10 to 45 BHP

(brake horsepower).

Steam engines and steam pumps performed and still perform any jobs presently performed by internal combustion engines, or electric motors. Except aircraft engines, (they and the necessary boilers are too heavy to fly). Locomotives, pumping, generating electricity, automobiles, industrial machinery...etc..

it could go faster than horses

1698, English military engineer, Thomas Savery (1650-17150

The idea of using boiling water to produce mechanical motion has a long history, going back about 2000 years. (see the related link below).

However, the first practical steam-powered 'engine' was a water pump, developed in 1698 by Thomas Savery. Then improving on the design of the 1712 Newcomen engine, the Watt steam engine was developed sporadically from 1763 to 1775 and was the next great step in the development of the steam engine. Then in around 1800, Richard Trevithick introduced engines using high-pressure steam.

An LS2 engine is a an Advanced 6.0 Litre V8 engine. Commonly used on Chevrolet vehicles. They are also New to Australia, just in 2005 to now, HSV (Holden Special Vehicles) has used these engines. HSV uses them in all their models (except VXR). These LS2 engines only uses 6.0 litre configurations. the first engine is a 6.0 litre 298kW and producing 542Nm.

The engines used in these cars: * 2005 to 2006 Chevrolet Corvette * 2004 to 2006 VZ HSV range * 2007 Chevrolet Camaro Concept (both coupe and convertible) * 2005 to 2006 Vauxhall Monaro VXRs * 2005 to 2006 Pontiac GTO and plenty more the second engine is a 6.0 litre 307kW and producing 550Nm.

the engines used in these cars: * 2006 to Present VE HSV range and more The first car to use the LS2 V8 was the 2005 Chevrolet Corvette.

Basically it was Tom Edison.

Technically a steam turbine is a particular type of steam engine.

A classic steam engine usually refers to a reciprocating steam engine, which uses a piston and crank arrangement, where pressurised steam (from the boiler) forces the piston through its stroke, producing output power.

A steam turbine produces power with pressurized steam expanding to high velocity, and impinging on turbine blades which produce rotational output power. A steam turbine can be considered similar to a windmill, although steam turbines typicaly rotate much faster, and often have many stages of steam expansion within a single machine.

Exhaust

Boulton and Watt steam engine

Because as they hadn't figure out how to recycle the steam, huge puffs of it was released as the engine worked.

There are still ships using steam engines.

So, The correct answer is not yet
