how Titanic's engines worked
Now there's a great new video (from Oceanliner Designs) on how the 66 000 tons ocean liner's engines looked like, how they worked and how they were operated by the hard-working human workers.
Titanic had 29 boilers - 24 double ended and 5 single ended, 159 furnaces, two four-cylinder steam reciprocating engines and one low pressure turbine engine. The turbine, which drove the center propeller (out of three total propellers visible in the black&white photo above), utilized the exhaust steam from the other engines. This design recycled the exhausted steam, instead of wastefully venting it up the funnels, which improved efficiency.
And here's a fandom wikia article on the Olympic-class Turbine Engine Rooms located behind the Reciprocating Engine Rooms: https://passengershipsandliners.fandom. ... ngine_Room

Global economy doubles in product every 15-20 years. Computer performance at a constant price doubles nowadays every 4 years on average. Livestock-as-food will globally stop being a thing by ~2050 (precision fermentation and more). Human stupidity, pride and depravity are the biggest problems of our world.
