> Hi All,
When discussing with a friend we had this question ( may seem crazy to the most 
experienced of You), for which we found no reliable answer, how to calculate 
(estimate?) the running speed of a steam engine (RPM) knowing the type of 
engine (single/double acting, condensing/non condensing), the stroke,the bore 
and the inlet steam pressure ? For your info we are building an horizontal 
slide-valve steam engine 1 1/2 bore, 2 1/4 stoke , of a type inspired from an 
old design .
