Engine valves

Alexander Allan (locomotive engineer)

Alexander Allan (1809-1891) was a Scottish mechanical engineer.

See Slide valve and Alexander Allan (locomotive engineer)

Beam engine

A beam engine is a type of steam engine where a pivoted overhead beam is used to apply the force from a vertical piston to a vertical connecting rod.

See Slide valve and Beam engine

A Corliss steam engine (or Corliss engine) is a steam engine, fitted with rotary valves and with variable valve timing patented in 1849, invented by and named after the US engineer George Henry Corliss of Providence, Rhode Island. Slide valve and Corliss steam engine are engine valves.

See Slide valve and Corliss steam engine

Cylinder (locomotive)

The cylinder is the power-producing element of the steam engine powering a steam locomotive.

See Slide valve and Cylinder (locomotive)

Lubrication

Lubrication is the process or technique of using a lubricant to reduce friction and wear and tear in a contact between two surfaces.

See Slide valve and Lubrication

Piston valve (steam engine)

Piston valves are one form of valve used to control the flow of steam within a steam engine or locomotive. Slide valve and Piston valve (steam engine) are engine valves.

See Slide valve and Piston valve (steam engine)

Poppet valve

A poppet valve (also sometimes called mushroom valve) is a valve typically used to control the timing and quantity of petrol (gas) or vapour flow into or out of an engine, but with many other applications. Slide valve and poppet valve are engine valves.

See Slide valve and Poppet valve

Rectilinear polygon

A rectilinear polygon is a polygon all of whose sides meet at right angles.

See Slide valve and Rectilinear polygon

Scotland

Scotland (Scots: Scotland; Scottish Gaelic: Alba) is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.

See Slide valve and Scotland

Sleeve valve

The sleeve valve is a type of valve mechanism for piston engines, distinct from the usual poppet valve. Slide valve and sleeve valve are engine valves.

See Slide valve and Sleeve valve

Steam engine

A steam engine is a heat engine that performs mechanical work using steam as its working fluid.

See Slide valve and Steam engine

Steam locomotive

A steam locomotive is a locomotive that provides the force to move itself and other vehicles by means of the expansion of steam.

See Slide valve and Steam locomotive

Steam locomotive components

Main components found on a typical steam locomotive include: The diagram, which is not to scale, is a composite of various designs in the late steam era.

See Slide valve and Steam locomotive components

Superheater

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

See Slide valve and Superheater

Valve

A valve is a device or natural object that regulates, directs or controls the flow of a fluid (gases, liquids, fluidized solids, or slurries) by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways.

See Slide valve and Valve

Valve gear

The valve gear of a steam engine is the mechanism that operates the inlet and exhaust valves to admit steam into the cylinder and allow exhaust steam to escape, respectively, at the correct points in the cycle.

See Slide valve and Valve gear

William Murdoch

William Murdoch (sometimes spelled Murdock) (21 August 1754 – 15 November 1839) was a Scottish chemist, inventor, and mechanical engineer.
