Index Smokebox

A smokebox is one of the major basic parts of a steam locomotive exhaust system. [1]

Blastpipe

The blastpipe is part of the exhaust system of a steam locomotive that discharges exhaust steam from the cylinders into the smokebox beneath the chimney in order to increase the draught through the fire.

Boiler

A boiler is a closed vessel in which fluid (generally water) is heated.

Cab forward

The term cab forward refers to various rail and road vehicle designs that place the driver's compartment substantially farther towards the front than is common practice.

Chimney

A chimney is a structure that provides ventilation for hot flue gases or smoke from a boiler, stove, furnace or fireplace to the outside atmosphere.

Clock

A clock is an instrument to measure, keep, and indicate time.

Concrete

Concrete, usually Portland cement concrete, is a composite material composed of fine and coarse aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement (cement paste) that hardens over time—most frequently a lime-based cement binder, such as Portland cement, but sometimes with other hydraulic cements, such as a calcium aluminate cement.

Exhaust gas

Exhaust gas or flue gas is emitted as a result of the combustion of fuels such as natural gas, gasoline, petrol, biodiesel blends, diesel fuel, fuel oil, or coal.

Firebox (steam engine)

In a steam engine, the firebox is the area where the fuel is burned, producing heat to boil the water in the boiler.

Funnel

A funnel is a pipe with a wide (often conical) mouth and a narrow stem.

New!!: Smokebox and Funnel · See more »

Injector

A steam injector is typically used to deliver cold water to a boiler against its own pressure using its own live or exhaust steam, replacing any mechanical pump.

LNER Class V2

The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Class V2 2-6-2 steam locomotives were designed by Sir Nigel Gresley for express mixed traffic work, and built at the LNER shops at Doncaster and Darlington between 1936–1944.

Smoke

Smoke is a collection of airborne solid and liquid particulates and gases emitted when a material undergoes combustion or pyrolysis, together with the quantity of air that is entrained or otherwise mixed into the mass.

Soot

Soot is a mass of impure carbon particles resulting from the incomplete combustion of hydrocarbons.

Spark arrestor

A spark arrester (sometimes spark arrestor) is any device which prevents the emission of flammable debris from combustion sources, such as internal combustion engines, fireplaces, and wood burning stoves.

Steam

Steam is water in the gas phase, which is formed when water boils.

New!!: Smokebox and Steam · See more »

Steam locomotive exhaust system

The Steam locomotive exhaust system consists of those parts of a steam locomotive which together discharge exhaust steam from the cylinders in order to increase the draught through the fire.

Steamroller

A steamroller (or steam roller) is a form of road roller – a type of heavy construction machinery used for leveling surfaces, such as roads or airfields – that is powered by a steam engine.

New!!: Smokebox and Steamroller · See more »

Superheater

A superheater is a device used to convert saturated steam or wet steam into superheated steam or dry steam.

New!!: Smokebox and Superheater · See more »

Thermodynamics

Thermodynamics is the branch of physics concerned with heat and temperature and their relation to energy and work.

New!!: Smokebox and Thermodynamics · See more »

Wheel

A wheel is a circular component that is intended to rotate on an axle bearing.
