Mechanical Engineering :: Steam Boilers and Engines
-
The effect of wire drawing is to decrease the area of indicator diagram and thus work done by the engine is reduced.
-
In a reciprocating steam engine, the heat energy in the steam is converted into mechanical work by the to and fro motion of the piston.
-
The power of a boiler may be defined as
-
When the circulation of water, in a boiler, is by a centrifugal pump, then the boiler is known as
-
