10 positive facts about a steam engine?

What was the horsepower of the 1st steam engine?

The first steam engine was Hero's turbine, it is unknown what the horsepower output of it was. It was used as an item of curiosity, and did no real work. The first practical (useful) steam engine was the Newcomen pumping engine, used to pump water out of mines, it was an improvement over Savery's pump (which did use steam but not an engine) in that it more efficiently made use of the steam, it is estimated that the work output of this engine would have been about 10 to 30 horsepower. The engine used the vacuum created by condensing the steam to drive it. The Boulton-Watt engine was the first practical engine that used the power of the expansion of steam to drive the piston, in both directions, thus improving the efficiency of the engine. The horsepower of this engine was about 10 to 45 BHP (brake horsepower).

What was the first steam engine?

Hero (or Heron) of Alexandria(Greek:Ήρων ο Αλεξανδρεύ&sigmaf;) (c. 10

When you get steam battery and sully's key what order do the steam paths go in on steamworks island?

The steam pressure coming in is "10", and the steam pressure that needs to come out is "5". So create a path where the connectors total "minus 5". Similarly, on the drawbridge, you will need to go through mostly "positive" connectors, so that the net gain is +6 (from 10 input to 16 output).

I have Gmod on steam but how do you get Gmod 10 on steam?

Gmod 10 is a pay game. It can be purchased from the Steam store at http://store.steampowered.com It costs $10

How do you reset the check engine light on a 2001 Dodge Dakota?

disconnect the positive battery cable for about 10 minutes

Will there be a garrys mod 10?

What is the steam temperature at 10 PSI?

The steam temperature at 10 PSI is approximately 239 degrees Fahrenheit.

How did first car move?

The first cars were driven by steam. The internal combustion engine superseded the steam engine as it was more efficient.

Who invented the steam engine?

The first person to harness the power of steam was the Greek scientist Heron of Alexandria in the first century A.D. He developed several devices that were operated by water, steam, or compressed air, including a fountain, a fire engine, and the steam engine. The "steam engines" in use in the 18th century were not strictly steam engines - the weight of a large rocking beam or pump rod pulled a close-fitting piston along a cylinder, drawing in steam from a boiler. The operator closed a valve to shut off the steam, and opened a valve or tap to let cold water into the cylinder, condensing the steam and creating a partial vacuum. The pressure of the outside air then pushed the piston back into the cylinder. This type of engine is known as an atmospheric or condensing engine - the steam played no direct part in transmitting power to the beam or pump rod. This type of engine was significantly improved in 1712 by Englishman Thomas Newcomen (1663-1729), who built a machine that was used to pump water out of tin mines in Cornwall. The Scottish inventor James Watt (1736-1819) realised that most of the heat used to make the steam was being wasted in heating and re-heating the iron cylinder and piston. He invented a separate condenser, which was a sealed container connected to the cylinder by a pipe. After the piston had drawn steam into the cylinder, water was sprayed into the condenser rather than the cylinder, so the engine worked as before, but the cylinder and piston remained hot. He patented this and several other improvements, and patented (received exclusive rights to make, use, and sell) his own engine in 1769. The engine was very successful because it used as little as a quarter of the wood or expensive coal to produce the same amount of work as Newcomen's engine. He is usually considered to be the father of the steam engine, although he thought the use of high-pressure steam (as used in later engines) to be dangerous, as in fact it tended to be, with the relatively crude cast-iron engineering of the time. The inventor of what we consider today to be a "steam engine", that is an engine where the pressure of the steam pushes the piston and does the work, was the mining engineer Richard Trevithick (1771 - 1833). A major advantage of his high-pressure engine was that it operated at a much higher speed than the older condensing engine. This made steam-powered vehicles a reality, and he went on to build a steam-powered carriage, and later in 1804 his steam locomotive became the first in the world to pull a heavy load - over a distance of almost 10 miles. There have been many contributors to the invention of the steam engine and making the steam engine important during the industrial revolution.
