Source sentences:
text: The steam is then controlled by a slide valve to move into a cylinder to push the piston.
text: As an external combustion engine—since it burns its fuel outside of the engine—a steam engine passes its steam into a cylinder where the steam then pushes a piston back and forth.
text: The steam forces the cylinder and piston within the steam engine to shuffle and move, initiating the turning of the wheels and putting it in motion.
text: Steam is admitted through one inlet valve, forcing the piston to move to the other end of the cylinder.
text: The steam expands and pushes against a piston that moves.
text: The steam then presses the piston downward, driving the flywheel around one half turn.
text: This steam pushes on the piston, found inside the cylinder, and the piston in turn pushes on a rod that turns the flywheel.
text: The steam alternately pushes against each side of the piston, so there are two power strokes per revolution of the crankshaft.
text: A much better (though slightly more complex) design uses extra steam pipes and valves to make steam push the piston first one way and then the other.
text: Steam from the other inlet valve then pushes the piston back to its original position, and the cycle starts again.
text: Note that pressure in the cylinder declines after cutoff as the steam pushes the piston down its bore.
text: Technically this was still an atmospheric engine until (under subsequent patents) he enclosed the upper part of the cylinder, introducing steam to also push the piston down.
text: Steam from the other inlet valve then pushes the piston back to its original position, and the cycle starts again.
text: The pressure in the cylinder declines after cutoff as the steam pushes the piston down its bore
text: The steam is channeled into the piston and pushes the piston back, this has a link to the wheels and creates forward or backward motion.
text: The pressure in the cylinder declines after cutoff as the steam pushes the piston down its bore.
text: By the mid–sixteenth century, work on air pumps had established the notion of a piston working in a cylinder, and around 1680, French physicist Denis Papin (1647– 1712) put some water at the bottom of a tube, heated it, converted it to steam, and saw that the expanded steam pushed forcibly and moved a piston just ahead of it.
text: The steam is transferred via a pipe to the engine where a valve admits steam to the engine's cylinder at appropriate, set intervals, pushing a piston up and down.
text: The heat causes high pressure steam to develop, and the steam pushes pistons.
text: The steam forces the cylinder and piston within the steam engine to shuffle and move, initiating the turning of the wheels and putting it in motion.
text: Steam is admitted through one inlet valve, forcing the piston to move to the other end of the cylinder.
text: The steam expands and pushes against a piston or turbine, whose motion does the work to turn the wheels.
