Power Calculation for Compound Steam Engines by ScribdTranslations is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document describes the calculation of the power of a compound steam engine. It explains that this type of machine uses two groups of cylinders, one for high pressure and another for low pressure, to achieve better steam expansion and greater efficiency. It then details the formulas for calculating the theoretical power of these types of machines and applies the calculations to 15 compound locomotives from Renfe, identifying several errors in the catalog data and proposing corrections.
