MARINE STEAM

ENGINE
Introduction
A marine steam engine is a steam engine that is used to
power a ship or boat. This article deals mainly with
marine steam engines of the reciprocating type, which
were in use from the inception of the steamboat in the
early 19th century to their last years of large-scale
manufacture during World cup War II. Reciprocating
steam engines were progressively replaced in marine
applications during the 20th century by steam turbines
and marine diesel engines
How does it works ?
A steam engine is a heat engine that performs
mechanical work using steam as its working fluid.
The steam engine uses the force produced by steam
pressure to push a piston back and forth inside a
cylinder. This pushing force is transformed, by a
connecting rod and flywheel, into rotational force
for work. The term "steam engine" is generally
applied only to reciprocating engines as just
described, not to the steam turbine.

Inventor

James Watt he was a Scottish inventor, mechanical

engineer, and chemist who improved on Thomas
Newcomen's 1712 Newcomen steam enginewith his Watt
steam engine in 1776, which was fundamental to the
changes brought by the Industrial Revolution in both
his native Great Britain and the rest of the world.

How this relate to fluid mechanics ? Improvements

conservation of mass principle concept conservation of momentum

the net mass transported to the system is
identical to the net change in mass inside
the system plus the net mass exiting an open
system. The mass addition or removal to or
from an open system brings energy, entropy
and exergy transfer that is proportional to
the flow rate of mass. The mass flow rate is
determined as the quantity of mass passing
through a cross-section of a flow stream per
unit of time.
The total mass flow rate of all input streams is denoted
as while the total mass flow rate of all output streams
is denoted as . In this case, the mass of the open system
will vary with differential amount dmcvfor the non-
steady state case. The mass balance equation (MBE)

used in this equation are what we will later call absolute frame
velocities
