the stroke and the clearance length added to the period of admission.It is evident that this sum represents or expresses the initial volume of steam for expansion. Thus suppose that the clearance is 7 per cent, of the volume of thecylinder or piston displacement, which is, one and the same thing,… … expansion of a volume of steam equal to 50 per cent, plus 7 per cent. =57 per cent, instead of only 50 per cent. This practially amounts tomaking the cylinder 7 per cent, longer and cutting off at 50 per cent, ofthe stroke without clearance. The mean pressures in practice are greatly effected by…
