Page 43 - What expenditure of mechanical power has to be incurred in overcoming the inertia of those parts due to the reciprocation and changing from rest to motion and from motion to rest? (1873.) 42. The initial pressure of steam in a cylinder, whose stroke is 5 feet 4 inches, is 45 Ibs., and expansion commences when 2 feet 3 inches have been performed ; find the pressure at the end of the stroke. Find also the horse-power, if the arcn of the cylinder is 2,218 square inches, and the number of strokes per...
