Sep 23, 2020 · Crudely speaking, there are four different parts in a steam engine: A fire where the coal burns. A boiler full of water that the fire heats up to make steam. A cylinder and piston, rather like a bicycle pump but much bigger. Steam from the boiler is piped into the cylinder, causing the piston to move first one way then the other.

Pere Marquette 1225 :: Steam Railroading Institute
It takes about eight hours to generate a full head of steam on the locomotive's boiler, which operates at 245 pounds per square inch. The tender holds 22 tons of coal and 22,000 gallons of water, consuming one ton of coal for every twelve miles and 150 gallons of water per mile. The locomotive cost $245,000 or roughly $2.5 million by today

Pulverized coal-fired boiler - Wikipedia
A pulverized coal-fired boiler is an industrial or utility boiler that generates thermal energy by burning pulverized coal (also known as powdered coal or coal dust since it is as fine as face powder in cosmetic makeup) that is blown into the firebox.. The basic idea of a firing system using pulverised fuel is to use the whole volume of the furnace for the combustion of solid fuels.

Coal & electricity | World Coal Association
Steam coal, also known as thermal coal, is used in power stations to generate electricity. First coal is milled to a fine powder, which increases the surface area and allows it to burn more quickly. In pulverised coal combustion (PCC) systems, the powdered coal is blown into the combustion chamber of a boiler where it is burnt at high temperature.

Coal-Fired Boiler - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Coal-fired boilers are mainly operated at either subcritical or supercritical conditions. From a thermo-physics perspective, two phase mixtures of water and steam are replaced by a single supercritical fluid when the boiler pressure increases above the critical pressure of 22.12 MPa and the corresponding saturation temperature of 374 °C (Shen and Cheng, 2004).

1 unit of steam is produced for each unit of water. A single unit of coal (4MJ) fed into a boiler and then utilised in a steam engine will result in 4MJ of energy added to an electrical system. It costs 30kJ energy to heat 1 unit of water to steam at 165°C, so one boiler will produce 60 steam per second.
