These pits were also used to steam foods by adding heated rocks or embers and then seaweed or corn husks ( or other coverings ) placed on top to steam fish and shellfish as well as vegetables ; potatoes would be added while still in-skin and corn while in-husk, this would later be referred to as a clambake by the colonists.

In exchange for building the tunnel, the City of Brooklyn granted the B & J permission to operate its steam locomotives on Atlantic Street west of Fifth Avenue ( then Parmentier's Garden / Gowanus Lane ), all the way to Brooklyn's South Ferry ( the present location of Brooklyn's Pier 7 ).

After 1869 with the opening of the Suez Canal that allowed competition with steam vessels, the tea trade then collapsed for clippers.

The steam is partially expanded in the high-pressure casing, then exhausted to the low-pressure casing.

*** Solar thermal energy ( the sun as the heat source ): solar parabolic troughs and solar power towers concentrate sunlight to heat a heat transfer fluid, which is then used to produce steam.

Heat engines, including internal combustion engines and external combustion engines ( such as steam engines ) burn a fuel to create heat which is then used to create motion.

Marlow began to screech the steam whistle repeatedly ; " the shower of arrows stopped, a few dropping shots rang out sharply — then silence "-A pilgrim in " pink pyjamas " arrives at the pilot-house, and is shocked to see the dying helmsman.

Steam just above atmospheric pressure ( all that the boiler could stand ) was introduced into the lower half of the cylinder beneath the piston during the gravity-induced upstroke ; the steam was then condensed by a jet of cold water injected into the steam space to produce a partial vacuum ; the pressure differential between the atmosphere and the vacuum on either side of the piston displaced it downwards into the cylinder, raising the opposite end of a rocking beam to which was attached a gang of gravity-actuated reciprocating force pumps housed in the mineshaft.

The first applications of the steam locomotive were on wagon or plate ways ( as they were then often called from the cast-iron plates used ).

Iceman was then able to reconstitute his solid form by coalescing from steam to ice to flesh.

Insulated containers store the hot salt solution, and when needed water is then used to create steam that is fed to turbines to generate electricity.

The club then merged with the Royal Southern and occupied that club's older premises which it had created from the regency public steam baths by the basin at West Hoe before the rejuvenated club moved in the late 1980s to Queen Anne Battery.

This is then fed through one or more, increasingly larger bore cylinders successively, to extract power from the steam at increasingly lower pressures.

The reciprocating engine developed in Europe during the 18th century, first as the atmospheric engine then later as the steam engine.

The fire in the boiler shall then be lighted, and the quantity of fuel consumed for getting up the steam shall be determined, and the time noted.

The reduced-pressure steam is then released into the atmosphere or condensed and pumped back into the boiler.

In 1789 he set about modernising the process of malt grinding and pumping, which had been previously worked with the employment of horses, by introducing what was reputed to be the first steam engine ( Boulton and Watt ) to be used for this purpose outside of London, and was then able to describe his business as the Faversham Steam Brewery.

They were once used to directly drive mechanical devices such as ships ' propellers ( for example the Turbinia, the first turbine-powered steam launch ,) but most such applications now use reduction gears or an intermediate electrical step, where the turbine is used to generate electricity, which then powers an electric motor connected to the mechanical load.

Like the Resurgam, it operated on the surface using a 100 HP steam engine with a maximum speed of 9 kn, then it shut down its engine to dive.

Derricks at first were used to remove loose rocks then steam hoisting machine replaced them to increase construction progress.

That is, one can use the heat derived from a combustion reaction in a coal furnace to boil water, and use this heat to vaporize steam, and then use the enhanced high-pressure energy of the vaporized steam to push a piston.

Swanage has a heritage restored steam railway which operates for most of the year, though at the moment this only goes as far as Norden.

Credit for the invention of the steam iron goes to Thomas Sears.

Steam enters the end of the dryer head ( cylinder cap ) through a steam joint and condensate exits through a siphon that goes from the internal shell to a center pipe.

Strictly speaking, the history of the search for a method of variable valve opening duration goes back to the age of steam engines when the valve opening duration was referred to as “ steam cut-off ”.

Fozzie goes through the steam baths and ends up back to normal.

One can think of it in this way: if one opens saturated steam from the boiler to the superheater it goes straight through the superheater units and to the cylinders which doesn't leave much time for the steam to be superheated.

Then when the throttle is opened, superheated steam goes to the cylinders immediately.

Xander goes out for a drink and bumps into Cameron, who had still been on school grounds in the steam room ; he takes the opportunity to ridicule Cameron for trying to " mess with " Buffy.

Spike swaps his small teeth for heavy-duty ones, blows off some pent-up steam, and goes after Tom.

) goes to the digester where it is mixed an aqueous solution of the pulping chemicals, then heated with steam.

The steam goes through the hole in the wall.

The three finds push back the date of the invention of the crank and connecting rod back by a full millennium ; for the first time, all essential components of the much later steam engine were assembled by one technological culture:

More complex engines using human power, animal power, water power, wind power and even steam power date back to antiquity.

These were all horse drawn or relied on gravity, with a stationary steam engine to haul the wagons back to the top of the incline.

( A similar system was developed with armoured steam engines back in 1914 – 1918.

Non-condensing or back pressure turbines are most widely used for process steam applications.

Most steam tunnels have large intake fans to bring in fresh air and push the hot air out the back.

The cam can be a simple tooth, as is used to deliver pulses of power to a steam hammer, for example, or an eccentric disc or other shape that produces a smooth reciprocating ( back and forth ) motion in the follower, which is a lever making contact with the cam.

Their factory boasted having the only steam operated molding machine back in 1907 ; allowing them cost efficiencies passed on to the consumer.

* 1825-Sir Goldsworthy Gurney invented a series of steam powered passenger carriages and by 1829 completed the 120 mile journey from London to Bath, Somerset and back.

Here the steam engine of the train is detached, rotated on the turntable and reattached to the other end of the train for its journey back.

The condenser converts the steam to a liquid so that it can be pumped back into the steam generator, and maintains a vacuum at the turbine outlet so that the pressure drop across the turbine, and hence the energy extracted from the steam, is maximized.

At the same time, a strip of earth at the back of the lock on the north side sank, carrying with it, two steam traction engines which had been used for pumping.

The fire was then removed, allowing the cylinder to cool, which condensed steam back into water, thus creating a vacuum beneath the piston.

This meant that a considerable amount of fuel was being used just to heat the cylinder back to the point where the steam would start to fill it again.

The 1955 Modernisation Plan promised expenditure of in excess of £ 1, 240 million ; steam locomotives would be replaced with diesel and electric locomotives, traffic levels would increase and the system was predicted to be back in profit by 1962.

In his final years, Gatling moved back to St. Louis, Missouri to form a new company for manufacturing his steam plows, or tractors.

Because the hot water or steam that is used is reinjected back into the reservoir, this source is considered sustainable.

Although the idea of running freight carts in tracks carved into rock dates back at least as far as ancient Greece and wooden-railed wagonways originated in Germany in the 16th century, the first use of steam locomotives was in Britain.

The mid-1950s saw the hasty introduction of diesel and electric rolling stock to replace steam in a modernisation plan costing many millions of pounds but the expected transfer back from road to rail did not occur and losses began to mount.

: At this point, Black's attack has run out of steam ; Black has a queen and bishop on the back rank, but cannot effectively mount an immediate attack on White, while White can storm forward.
