Assignment Help:

CLASSIFICATION:

(1)  In accordance to Cylinder Axis: Engine can be vertical or horizontal.

(2)  In accordance to action of steam: Can be single acting or double acting.

(3)  In accordance to number of cylinders: Can be single or multi cylinder (Compounded).

(4)  In accordance to method of steam exhaust: Condensing or Non condensing. In condensing type engines the engine discharges into a condenser where exhaust is converted to water.
