eric pressure has already been described. Itis from this line that the mean effective pressure of thesteam upon the piston during the stroke is estimatedin all calculations of diagrams taken from locomotivesand other non-condensing engines. Admission at the beginning of the stroke is shownat B, and… … Figure 104 is the line of back pressure or counter pressuret andthe amount of this pressure depends upon the neightof this line above line A. Compression begins at C,and from this point to B is the compression curve. Fig. 104 shows bad valve adjustment, the enginedoing by far the largest portion of…
