The V-2 rocket engine, the most powerful of its time at 25 tons (245 kN) of thrust, was regeneratively cooled, in a design by Walter Thiel, by fuel pumped around the outside of the combustion chamber between the combustion chamber itself and an outer shell that conformed to the chamber and was separated by a few millimeters. This design was ...
Considering the definition of combustion chamber used for internal combustion engines, the equivalent part of a steam engine would be the firebox, since this is where the fuel is burned. [citation needed] However, in the context of a steam engine, the term "combustion chamber" has also been used for a specific area between the firebox and the ...
Ceramic fibre is commonly used for the roof and wall of the furnace and is graded by its density and then its maximum temperature rating. For example, 8# 2,300 °F means 8 lb/ft 3 density with a maximum temperature rating of 2,300 °F. The actual service temperature rating for ceramic fiber is a bit lower than the maximum rated temperature.
A countercurrent heat exchanger with forced cooling air does the job. The cylinder-walls should not heat up the air before compression, but also not cool down the gas at the combustion. A compromise is a wall temperature of 90 °C. The viscosity of the oil is optimized for just this temperature.
Some fireboxes were equipped with a so-called combustion chamber, this is a distinct component from the firebox and tubes - a large single extension of the firebox space, into the boiler barrel, and above the brick arch and separated from the grate and the fire bed, this placed additional space between the fire and the rear fire tube/flue sheet.
The high compression ratio in the auxiliary combustion chamber causes the auto-ignition of the homogeneous lean air-fuel mixture therein (no spark plug required); the burnt gas bursts - through some "transfer ports", just before the TDC - into the main combustion chamber triggering its auto-ignition. The engine needs not be structurally stronger.
Lean-burn refers to the burning of fuel with an excess of air in an internal combustion engine.In lean-burn engines the air–fuel ratio may be as lean as 65:1 (by mass). ). The air:fuel ratio needed to stoichiometrically combust gasoline, by contrast, is 14.
By setting the controls (thermostats or controller with temperature sensors) with greater temperature differentials between STOP and START. At Non-Condensing Boilers make provisions so that minimum return water temperature of 130 °F (54 °C) to 150 °F (66 °C) to the boiler to avoid fireside corrosion.
