In Watt's design, the cold water was injected only into the condensation chamber. This type of condenser is known as a jet condenser. The condenser is located in a cold water bath ...
IHI started development work on the high bypass ratio turbofan engine in 1998, based on the low bypass ratio engine XF5-1. and the first prototype XF7-1 was tested from 2000 to 2002. The flight test XF7-10's testing started in 2002. [1]

The F7 was the fourth model in GM-EMD's successful line of F-unit locomotives, and by far the best-selling cab unit of all time. In fact, more F7s were built than all other F-units combined. The F7 succeeded the F3 model in GM-EMD's F-unit series, and was replaced in turn by the F9.
The F7 was powered by a 7.0 L LS7 V8 engine, which had a capacity of 7 liters and a power of 629 HP, transferring power to the rear axle in cooperation with a 6-speed manual transmission. The car reached 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) in 3.3 seconds, and the maximum speed was about 200 mph (320 km/h).
