Each engine had a 48-inch (120 cm) stroke and cylinders of 23 + 1 ⁄ 4-inch (59 cm), 33-inch (84 cm), 47-inch (120 cm) and 68-inch (170 cm) bore. Between them, the engines developed 1,020 NHP . The engines were fed by six 215 lb f /in 2 single-ended boilers with a total heating surface of 15,114 square feet (1,404 m 2 ).
She had six corrugated furnaces feeding two 225 lbf/in 2 (1,550 kPa; 15.8 kgf/cm 2) single-ended boilers with a combined heating surface of 5,940 square feet (552 m 2). [2] The boilers fed a 443 nominal horsepower triple-expansion steam engine that had cylinders of 24 inches (61 cm), 39 inches (99 cm) and 68 inches (170 cm) diameter by 48 ...
The cylinders of the new engine were 22½, 41½, and 68 inches (57, 105, and 170 cm) in diameter and had a 48-inch (120 cm) stroke, which generated a nominal 350 horsepower (260 kW). The ship was also re-boilered with two water tube boilers that had a heating surface of 4,012 square feet (372.7 m 2 ) and operated at 220 pounds per square inch ...
She was propelled by a single fixed pitch propeller. It was 14.3 inches (36.3 cm) in diameter, and had an 11 inch (27.9 cm) pitch. [1] John V. Moran was a combination of a bulk freighter and a package freighter, built to carry both bulk (e.g. iron ore, coal) and package freight (e.g. flour).
The boilers supplied a triple-expansion engine, which had cylinders of 24.5 inches (62 cm), 39 inches (99 cm) and 72 inches (180 cm) bore by 48 inches (120 cm) stroke, and was rated at 510 NHP. [1] The engine was built by David Rowan & Co Ltd of Glasgow .
The National Institute of Standards and Technology formerly contended that customary area units are defined in terms of the square survey foot, not the square international foot, [17] but from 2023 it states that "although historically defined using the U.S. survey foot, the statute mile can be defined using either definition of the foot, as is ...
The engines were fed by six 215 lb f /in 2 single-ended boilers with a total heating surface of 13,302 square feet (1,236 m 2). Her boilers were heated by 18 corrugated furnaces with a grate surface of 332 square feet (31 m 2 ).
The centimetre (SI symbol: cm) is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10 −2 metres ( 1 / 100 m = 0.01 m). To help compare different orders of magnitude, this section lists lengths between 10 −2 m and 10 −1 m (1 cm and 1 dm). 1 cm – 10 millimeters; 1 cm – 0.39 inches; 1 cm – edge of a square of area 1 cm 2
