Analysis of a bladeless steam turbine for use in a domestic combined heat and power system Peter Burton Edinburgh Napier university Abstract This report analyses the suitability of a bladeless ‘Tesla’ type steam turbine to determine its merit for use in a domestic combined heat and power system. A physical prototype was developed and built so that cost and performance data could be determined. With this done‚ a cost analysis was prepared to evaluate its performance when integrated into a

He added new parts to it so it can work no matter what weather it was in. The old steam engine did not work when it needed wind because it was not windy all the time. And it did not work when it needed water because the water would freeze in cold temperatures. James Watt added new parts and components to the steam engine to make it work with hot steam instead to make it more

James Watt was not the inventor of the stream train but he made significant adaptations to it which made it more efficient. This vastly improved the speed and decreased the amount of time during delays and the amount of delays also decreased. He also made a coping machine made to copy letters and other texts. He tried to commercialise his adaptation of the steam engine but due to financial constraints he could

made the first steam-powered engine to power a steamboat‚ and in 1807 he demonstrated its use by going from New York City to Albany via the Hudson River. His steamboat was able to carry raw materials across the Atlantic Ocean by the mid 1800 ’s. This was a great advancement for transporting materials. At the turn of the 19th century the steam engine was invented. Even though iron rails were being used in the coal mines‚ there were no self-propelled locomotives to run on them.
