| Summary: | This Final Year Project is about development scale model of steam engine
with Stephenson Gearing System. Steam engine is device that use steam power to
produce mechanical energy for a variety application. In actual operations, steam
engine operates with low efficiency because of the bad management of steam intake
and steam exhaust at the engine cylinder. This major problem can be encounter by
equipping the Stephenson Gearing System at the steam engine. The objectives of this
project are to design the steam engine components base on Mechanical Principles of
Steam Engine and to investigate the Stephenson Gearing System operation in order
to increase steam engine efficiency. All of the designed components are analyze with
the calculation analysis of steam engine and the effectiveness of Stephenson Gearing
System is showing in the motion simulation of the steam engine. Then best
manufacturing process to fabricate this steam engine is discussed and this will help
during fabrication session. So, the scale model of steam engine is ready to fabricate if
the analysis and simulation on scale model of steam engine produce the positive
results. |
