Analysis from the Functional Viewpoint of a Single-Cylinder Horizontal Steam Engine with a Crosshead Trunk Guide through Engineering Graphics

This paper explores a historical innovation created by Henry Muncaster: a stationary steam engine featuring a single-cylinder horizontal design with a crosshead trunk guide. Through the application of engineering graphics techniques, we have elucidated the functioning of this invention by developing...

Through the application of engineering graphics techniques, we have elucidated the functioning of this invention by developing a 3D CAD model based on the original drawings published in Model Engineer magazine in 1957. However, the geometric modeling process faced challenges due to missing and erroneous dimensions for several components. Consequently, dimensional, geometric, and movement constraints were applied to ensure the coherence and functionality of the 3D CAD model, alongside conducting an interference analysis. Ultimately, the proper alignment of the cylinder and crosshead was ascertained, which is crucial for maintaining uniform forces and motions within the steam engine. This alignment is pivotal for achieving balanced operation, minimizing vibrations, and enhancing the overall efficiency of the invention.The research presented in this paper has been possible thanks to a collaboration grant with the Department of Engineering Graphics, Design, and Projects of the University of Jaen obtained in the 2023 call from the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of the Government of Spain.Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute202420242024info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.3390/sym16060722https://www.mdpi.com/2073-8994/16/6/722https://hdl.handle.net/10953/2893reponame:RUJA.
