Steam Locomotives were first made in the 18th century. William Murdoch first made a prototype in 1784. An early working model was built by a steam boat pioneer John Fitch. Richard Trevithick (13 April 1771 – 22 April 1833) was a British inventor and mining engineer from Cornwall. Born in the mining heartland of Cornwall‚ Trevithick was immersed in mining and engineering from a young age. The son of a mining captain‚ he performed poorly in school‚ but went on to be an early pioneer in steam-powered

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL Steam Turbine is a type of turbo machine. Turbo machine are those devices in which energy is transferred either to or from‚ a continuously flowing fluid by the dynamic action of one or more moving blade rows. In steam turbine energy is transferred from fluid to blade rows and is decreasing along the flow directions. It is power producing thermodynamics device. Steam turbine converts heat energy of steam (at high pressure and temperature) into mechanical

identify and review theories on steam engine and to identify the deficiencies of those theories. Related Literature In general usage‚ the term ‘steam’ is the invisible vapor into which water is converted when it boils. On the contrary‚ it is the cloud of water droplets formed by the partial condensation of this vapor as it is cooled. [1] Steam is the technical term for ‘water vapor’‚ the gaseous phase of water. Since it is a vapor‚ it is logical that the density of steam is much less than that of water

Automotive engine Engines are desinged to be two strokes or four strokes of a piston that moves up and down in a cylinder. Generally‚ the automotive engine uses four strokes to convert chemical energy to mechanical energy through combustion of gasoline or similar hydrocarbon fuel. The heat produced is converted into mechanical work by pushing the piston down in the cylinder. A connecting rod attached to the piston transfers this energy to a rotating crankshaft Engines having from 1

The Steam Turbine‚ Part I The Steam Turbine by Sir CHARLES A. PARSONS‚ K.C.B. Best viewed with window no wider than the above line. THE STEAM TURBINE In modern times the progress of science has been phenomenally rapid. The old methods of research have given place to new. The almost infinite complexity of things has been recognized and methods‚ based on a co-ordination of data derived from accurate observation and tabulation of facts‚ have proved most successful in unravelling the secrets of

Analysis of a bladeless steam turbine for use in a domestic combined heat and power system Peter Burton Edinburgh Napier university Abstract This report analyses the suitability of a bladeless ‘Tesla’ type steam turbine to determine its merit for use in a domestic combined heat and power system. A physical prototype was developed and built so that cost and performance data could be determined. With this done‚ a cost analysis was prepared to evaluate its performance when integrated into a

Steam Generators A steam generator generates steam at the desired rate at the desired pressure and temperature by running fuel in its furnace (used in both fossil-fuel and nuclear-fuel electric generating power stations). It is a complex integration of furnace‚ superheater‚ reheater‚ boiler or evaporator‚ economizer and air preheater along with various auxiliaries such as pulverizers‚ burners‚ fans‚ stokers‚ dust collectors and precipitators‚ ash handling equipment and chimney/stack.
