Each of the six boilers feed steam to a steam turbine set.
The turbine was fed steam raised in sixteen new Babcock & Wilcox (UK) boilers, bringing the total number of boilers on site to forty eight.
These fed steam to her three-cylinder triple-expansion steam engine, which was built by Palmers Shipbuilding and Iron Company.
The boilers fed steam at 900 psi/900 degrees Fahrenheit directly to each turbine/alternator.
The Steam Tank is powered by a substantial iron boiler which feeds steam through a series of pipes and pistons to drive the wheels.
The first generation of dreadnoughts used coal to fire the boilers which fed steam to the turbines.
He'd have to do something about that initial engagement, or ensure that he could feed steam to the turbine at lower rates, or he wouldn't have any gears left before long.
In the compound Mallet locomotive, the rear set of coupled wheels are driven by the smaller high pressure cylinders which are fed steam from the steam dome.
Motive power for the vessel was provided by a single, wood fired, locomotive-style boiler, that fed steam to two high pressure, single-cylinder, double acting steam engines, mounted longitudinally.
Reverse movement was accomplished by feeding steam into the turbines via a backwards-facing inlet.
