Yes, of course there are a couple of finer points! But the relative chimney length argument is common to double chimneys, Kylchaps, Lemaitres,...
No, It is because of fundamental fluid dynamics! I have explained it before in the 6023 and exhaust discussions, but here it is again: Already in...
Any chimney can draw more air, so using that as an argument for a Kylchap is not really a proper argument. The issue is that a Kylchap does it in...
I beg to differ! The Kylchap trick is to draw the same amount of air and have a larger exhaust orifice area at the same time kind regards, Jos
Well, the Coal-Board changed a lot of locomotives along this line, they must have had some reason to believe in it! Kind regards Jos
In France the cost of coal transportation had to be added, given the location of mines they had to send coal trains the length and the width of...
Yes, correct! On a second look it appeared to be connected with a sliding block!
? Imho this would be true if there was no short link on the inside valve rod. Since there is a short link the above argument is also valid for the...
The drawing shows a 7" offset, using Pythagoras the length of the inclined side would be the square root of 1' 5 3/4" squared plus 7 squared...
Sorry, this is a website that quotes from a book. Imho this is "scientific" hearsay! Chapelon himself discussed these locomotives in his 1952...
Were the "Selkirk" tests not with a high-powered locomotive with conventional exhaust? A changeover to a modern multiple exhaust for the same...
In the above it is stated that supersonic exhaust flow always exists. This is only true in the case of the Red Devil which was redesigned for...
It took me some time to think this over! In general a 8-orifice jet unit should be slightly better than a 7 jet type. However a single chimney of...
Southern Locomotives ltd has a copy. I received a pdf from them. There is also a report from the University of Illinois, now available on the net,...
Steel requires a small carbon content. So as long as steel is made from ore, even in a hydrogen process carbon has to be added. As for oil, would...
