Abstract

In a steam engine, vapor is supplied by a boiler, expands under pressure and a part of the heat energy is converted into mechanical work. However, the efficiency of the steam engine may reduce due to the different load weight. In this study, different temperature of steam relative to different load weight and different engine speed on a steam powered engine are analysed. Moreover, the engine torque and brake power are calculated. The pressure of steam is set to be at the range of 2 bars, and the load weights are ranging of from 0, 20, 30, 40, and 50 grams. As a result, the performance of steam engine increased along with higher temperature and lower load weight.
