    Double Acting Two Stroke Steam Engine

    Uploaded by

    Raj Mohammed
    This document discusses the history and components of the steam engine. It describes the basic working principle where steam produced in a boiler is used to power a piston which converts the linear motion to rotational motion using connecting rods and a crankshaft. The document outlines the advantages of steam engines in being able to operate anywhere and anytime without pollution, and their role in powering trains and factories during the industrial revolution. It also discusses future applications of steam engine technology in power plants and small domestic combined heat and power systems.

    1. A steam engine could be located anywhere
    because water is heated in a separate boiler to
    produce steam. The steam engine, with its boiler,
    could be taken to any place of work
    2. A steam engine can be used at any time because
    steam can be produced at any time.
    3. A steam engine can be used to run trains for going
    from one place to.
    4. Steam engines can also be in vehicles it does not
    pollute the atmosphere
    5. The existing energy sources which are available such
    as Uranium, Coal, Fuels, Oils etc., may not be
    adequate to meet the increasing energy demand
     In the future these trains could come back into common use as oil runs down. As an aside
    since these engines are heavier than modern light engines, they are better on the snow!
    Then of course there are industrial steam engines (check out tees cottage pumping station for
    an example), and these are a bit outdated now - inefficient and hard to maintain but good for
    tourism
    The last type of steam engine are the hidden types that you might not have thought of - a
    nuclear power station!! 90% of all power stations are steam engines - the fuel boils water to
    create steam which then drives a turbine to turn a generator and create electricity. The fuel
    source can be different - nuclear, coal, oil or gas but they are all steam engines. The waste
    steam can be used to heat local buildings - these are called CHP (combined heat and power)
    and are more efficient, examples might be a hospital - it generates power and heats the wards
    from the same power plant
    For large power plant steam engines, there are a lot of future developments. I think there will
    be more efficiency savings - using the heat more effectively and more CHP units. There could
    be some sort of storage units from the steam (pump steam underground and take it out in the
    winter). There will be smaller CHP plants - some talk of these being in the home using
    domestic gas supply to make steam, generate electricity and heat the house. These are
    happening.
    There might be a new source for the heat, so there could be solar powered steam engines

     As you can see the Steam Engine started as a
    simple water pump and was formed in power
    supplier and eventually into a transportation
    system and helped bring about the industrial
    revolution. The reason that the Steam Engine was
    one of the greatest inventions in history is
    because it started out as something as simple as
    a water pump could be changed and modified to
    efficiently produce power, and power what
    basically is a train, and supply power to buildings
    and factories during the industrial revolution and
    to this day is relied on to power some machines
    that we use today.
