Acceleration of Piston
•Note that this expression of acceleration has
been obtained by differentiating the
approximate expression for velocity.
•It is usually very cumbersome to differentiate
the exact expression for velocity. However,
this gives satisfactory results.

Turning Moment Diagram for a Single Cylinder Double Acting Steam Engine
Double Acting Steam Engine:
•When steam is coming in both side
of the piston and it produces double
working stroke in each revolution,
is called double acting steam
engine.
•It produces double power than
single acting steam engine.
Turning Moment Diagram for a Single Cylinder Double Acting Steam Engine
Double Acting Steam Engine:
•Since the work done is the product
of the turning moment and the angle
turned, therefore the area of the
turning moment diagram represents
the work done per revolution.
