is evident that if the mean effective pressure of the steam at eachstroke can be determined, or if the indicator diagram that will be taken canbe laid down in advance of the construction of the engine, the dimensions ofthe steam cylinder can be obtained by a simple calculation. The diagram infull… … 470 HEAT, STEAM, AND STEAM ENGINES. [§ 512. In this figure, O X \?, tlie zero line to which all pressures are referred, andby following the diagram through a complete revolution of the engine, theelements that are known and those that must be assumed can readily betraced. 1. It will be seen that…
