e or drop at the endof the stroke of the high-pressurepiston, as is shown by Fig. 41,for an engine with a large receiverand no clearance. Such a drop willhave some effect on the character ofthe expansion line CF of the low-pressure cylinder, both for a non-con-ducting and for the actual enginewith… … l62 COMPOUND ENGINES pressure at C will be increased because the same weight of steamis taken in a smaller volume. The back-pressure DO of thehigh-pressure cylinder will be raised and the work will bediminished; while the forward pressure DC^ of the low-pressure cylinder will be raised, increasing…
