seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. At the end of the eighteenth century‚ horse drawn trams running on metal rails began to appear in a number of European cities. These horse drawn tramways were literally to pave the way for development of railways when steam power began to be developed early in the 1800s. One has only to look at illustrations of early passenger coaches to see how closely they resemble the road vehicles of the previous century. As railway experience was gained‚ the design of rolling stock

power plants for converting the pressure energy of steam into mechanical energy using steam turbines. Major components of it are rotating steam turbine and boiler pump and stationary condenser and boiler. Boiler is used for heating the water for generation of steam at required pressure and temperature as per the requirement of the turbine for power generation. Turbine exhaust is directed to the radial or axial flow condenser for condensing the steam to condensate and recycled back to the boiler through

The Industrial Revolution has had more negative effects on the world community than positive effects. Through the course of learning about the history of different countries and their success and loss in industrialization has taught me different things‚ good and bad‚ about the industrial revolution as a whole. Although I have come to an understanding with every opinion fixated towards positivity in industrial times‚ I think that a negative effect was mainly brought during the industrial revolution

Underwater Treasures: Titanic A major shift in our innovative world occurred during the beginning of the 20th century. Inventions that rule our era today were first brought upon in the early 1900s. One of the most notorious of these inventions was the steamboat. During this time there was a big transition from sailboat to steamboat. A significant change as to how naval vessels were built and operated took place‚ which sometimes resulted in conducting problems leading to tragedies. One of the most
