A steamboat‚ sometimes called a steamer‚ is a ship in which the primary method of propulsion is steam power‚ typically driving propellers or paddlewheels. Steamboats sometimes use the prefix designation SS‚ S.S. or S/S (for ’Steam Ship’) ‚ however these designations are most often used for Steamships

EXPERIMENT-1 Pressure-Temperature Relationship for Steam OBJECT: The objective of this experiment is to determine the relationship between saturation pressure and saturation temperature of the wet steam. APPARATUS: Pressure-temperature apparatus with pressure gauge and thermometer. [pic] THEORY: In order to determine the relationship between the saturation temperature and pressure of wet steam it is necessary to obtain a number of corresponding values of the

Internal Combustion Engines 11.1 Introduction Internal combustion engines differ from external combustion engines in that the energy released from the burning of fuel occurs inside the engine rather than in a separate combustion chamber. Examples of external combustion engines are gas and steam turbines. The gas turbine power plant utilizes products of combustion from a separate combustor as the working fluid. These gases are used to drive the gas turbine and produce useful power. The steam power plant

Internal Combustion Engine Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about the history of the four-stroke engine‚ how it works and some brief information to other types of engines. Thesis Statement: Internal combustion engines are very important to today ’s society‚ the four stroke engine is the most popular and important due to it long history of achievement and durability. I. Introduction 1. Attention getter- Imagine life without the engine‚ to be more specific the four-stroke engine or basic car

Diesel engines and unleaded fuel engines better known as gasoline engines are actually very similar. They are both internal combustion engines which is to convert the chemical energy in fuel into mechanical energy. This mechanical energy moves pistons up and down inside cylinders. The pistons are connected to a crankshaft‚ and the up-and-down motion of the pistons‚ known as linear motion‚ creates a force to the flywheel the from the flywheel to the transmission. The working principle of diesel engines

ABSTRACT The quest for an engine which having the same or more power with higher fuel efficiency than the existing ones has started before many years. As a result of all these researches a new engine concept is formed‚ which is a six stroke engine. Lot of research works are conducting on this topic nowadays and already six types of six stroke engines were discovered yet. Of these the resent developed three six stroke engines‚ i.e.‚ Beare head‚ Bruce crowers and Velozeta’s are undergoing tremendous

Internal Combustion Engines Introduction Internal Combustion Engine‚ a heat engine in which the fuel is burned ( that is‚ united with oxygen ) within the confining space of the engine itself. This burning process releases large amounts of energy‚ which are transformed into work through the mechanism of the engine. This type of engine different from the steam engine‚ which process with an external combustion engine that fuel burned apart from the engine. The principal types of internal combustion
