  2. High-pressure steam locomotive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-pressure_steam_locomotive

    The HP boiler worked at approx 850 psi (5.86 MPa), and the low-pressure boiler at 200 to 250 psi (1.38 to 1.72 MPa). The UHP and HP boilers were of a water-tube design, while the LP boiler was a fire-tube boiler typical for steam locomotives. The LP cylinders were driven with a mixture of the HP cylinder exhaust and the LP boiler output.

    Due to space and weight considerations the latter were one-pass exhausting directly from fire tube to chimney. Another proponent of "strong steam" at that time was the Cornishman, Richard Trevithick. His boilers worked at 40–50 psi (276–345 kPa) and were at first of hemispherical then cylindrical form.

    Coal was carried from the tender to the firebox by a Standard Stoker Company type MB automatic stoker that could supply slightly over 12 + 1 ⁄ 2 short tons (25,000 lb) per hour. Water to the boiler was furnished by a Nathan type 4000C Automatic Restarting injector rated for 12,500 gallons per hour on the right side and an Elesco T.P. 502 ...

    Direct method of boiler efficiency test is more usable or more common. Boiler efficiency = power out / power in = Q × (Hg − Hf) / (q × GCV) × 100%. where Q, rate of steam flow in kg/h Hg, enthalpy of saturated steam in kcal/kg Hf, enthalpy of feed water in kcal/kg q, rate of fuel use in kg/h

  9. Tractive effort - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractive_effort

    The term tractive effort is often qualified as starting tractive effort, continuous tractive effort and maximum tractive effort.These terms apply to different operating conditions, but are related by common mechanical factors: input torque to the driving wheels, the wheel diameter, coefficient of friction (μ) between the driving wheels and supporting surface, and the weight applied to the ...
