[SR: 7775936], Paperback, [EAN: 9789064640131], Illustrated, University of Sheffield, University of Sheffield, Book, [PU: University of Sheffield], University of Sheffield, About this book: Written in 2005, this 484 page paperback book 'The fire burns much better...200 years of steam locomotive exhaust research 1804-2004' by J.J.G. Koopmans is a revision by the author of his original PH.D. thesis submitted to the University of Sheffield by the author to address one of the aspects of steam locomotive design where no satisfactory theoretical result had been achieved in the days when the steam locomotive ruled the world's railways. The author defined the objectives of the study as follows: 1. Review existing studies on the design of the steam locomotive front ends; 2. Analyse why scientific research did not provide a definitive answer; 3. Critically analyse the applicability of the different theories; 4. Develop where possible a theory for the design of both single and multiple front ends; 5. Contribute to more efficient operation of heritage steam traction and reduce CO2 emissions from preserved steam locomotives. Some changes to the objectives evolved over time, but the main thrust of the author's studies was as detailed by these points. For the literature review, the author has only used sources that contributed to the mainstream of development. The relevant historical literature consists of some 35 contributions identified by the author as having had impact.
