Which steam powered method of transport quickly outpaced transport by canal?
The steam locomotive quickly outpaced transport by canal as a steam-powered method of transport. Railways allowed for faster and more reliable transportation of goods and passengers than canals, leading to the decline of canal transport for long-distance travel.
What is the largest locomotive in the world?
The largest locomotive in the terms of horsepower where the Union Pacific GTELs -- Gas Turbine Electric Locomotive, delivered 1958-1961. They where first rated at 8,500 HP, but certain altitudes where able to put well over 10,000 HP. Built by General Electric, they where the third generation of the gas turbines. Call the Big Blows, they where in a two piece set, or A/B with a dedicated tender which gave them an over all length of about 165 feet long. While they had the most powerful prime mover in the United States, the UP also had the an experimental coal turbine/diesel that had an over all length of 214 feet, but produced only 7000 HP, however it was deemed a failure and was scrapped in 1968.
A locomotive has broken through the wall of a train station As it did what can be said about the force exerted by the locomotive on the wall Does the wall exert greater eqaul or less force than train?
The force exerted by the locomotive on the wall would be equal and opposite to the force exerted by the wall on the locomotive, according to Newton's third law of motion. The wall exerts an equal force back on the train to cause it to come to a stop.
At what temperature saturated steam turns into superheated steam?
all temperatures above saturated steam is super heated steam. "Superheated" steam isn't so much a scientific term as a technical term. Steam is more efficient the more energy it has (the molecules have more kenetic energy/are hotter). During the height of steam locomotive development, the most fuel efficient way to accomplish this was to collect the steam, and then run it through a series of loops that are exposed to the exhaust gases of the original combustion, there-by further heating the steam. Because the steam receives no further moisture, but received further heat energy, it is considered 'dry' steam. Superheat was a term coined by the engine builders as a way to promote the design as a way to sell their engines. Because the superheater pipes carried steam pressure, they added additional equipment that had to be inspected as per ICC regulations. Because they also were exposed to the exhaust gas stream, they had a likelyhood of being erroded by the waste fuel being exhausted as well as the 1300+ degree combustion exhsut gasses.
