Driver's Brake Valve
The means by which the driver controls the brake. The brake valve will have (at least) the following positions: "Release", "Running", "Lap" and "Brake On". There may also be a "Neutral" or "Shut Down" position, which locks the valve out of use. The "Release" position connects the exhauster to the brake pipe and switches the exhauster to full speed. This raises the vacuum in the brake pipe as quickly as possible to get a release.
In the "Running" position, the exhauster keeps running but at its slow speed. This ensures that the vacuum is maintained against any small leaks or losses in the brake pipe, connections and hoses.
"Lap" is used to shut off the connection between the exhauster and the brake pipe to close off

The hoses can be sealed at the outer ends of the train by connecting them to dummy couplings.
Brake Cylinder (shown in blue)
Each vehicle has at least one brake cylinder. Sometimes two or more are provided. The movement of the piston contained inside the cylinder operates the brakes through links called "rigging". The rigging applies the blocks to the wheels. I do not know of a vacuum brake system which uses disc brakes. The piston inside the brake cylinder moves in accordance with the change in vacuum pressure in the brake pipe. Loss of vacuum applies the brakes, restoration of the vacuum releases the brakes.
Vacuum Reservoir
The operation of the vacuum brake relies on the difference in pressure between one side of the brake cylinder piston and the other. In order to ensure there is always a source of vacuum available to operate the brake, a vacuum reservoir is provided on, or connected to the upper side of the piston. In the simplest version of the brake, shown above, the brake cylinder is integral with the vacuum reservoir. Some versions of the brake have a separate reservoir and a piped connection to the upper side of the piston.
Brake
A composite hose with flanges on both ends compose the basic structure of the peristatic pump. And the discharge lines of the system and the suction are connected by the flanges. The shell contains a rotor mounted on the shaft which support its own bearing. In the casing , there are two or more pressing ‘shoes’ are fixed. The principle of the peristaltic pump is simple. As showed in the figure1. Between the rotor and the tube-bed, the tubing is relatively fixed. There are three position A,B and C which are all squeezed. The rollers-pressing shoes on the rotating rotor go through the pipe. Then the tubing is pressed continuously by the rollers just like the fingers. And the liquid in the tubing is pushed along the revolving rotor. After that the tube in the back of the roller restore the original shape as well as create a vacuum which extract the liquid behind it. Between
1.Intake: The intake valve opens allowing fresh oxygen rich air mixed with fuel to enter the cylinder.
Pressure relief valves are relatively simple pieces of equipment. The operation of these devices involves a spring-loaded disk resting on a seat. When the pressure is low the force on the disk is less than the spring force on the disk and the valve remains closed. The pressure force increases causing a drop in the force that seals the disk on the seat. Once the valve is raised a larger disk area is available for the fluid to flow through providing a lifting force which is directly correlated.
chamber used as a control will be used to measure any changes due to air
The main goal for both of these systems is to force more air into the combustion chamber than would normally be allowed with standard atmospheric pressure at sea level (14.7 PSI). More air in the combustion chamber along with proper tuning allows for more fuel to be burn which in turn creates more energy and thus more power.
There is three propellers which were working by the steam, the rotation of the propellers were working by the movement.
How this marvel of engineering works is the rotor rides on an offset in the crankshaft, similar to a piston nand connecting rod assembly, and is rotated in an oval shaped case with ports for intake, exhaust and spark plugs. Incorporated into the rotor is a ring gear which had another gear that is stationary in the center, this planetary gear set is what keeps the rotor in time with the rest of the engine. The rotor creates three sealed areas where the different strokes will take place simultaneously, these three areas are sealed by strip of metal called the Apex seal which have the same function as the piston rings in a traditional internal combustion engine. The intake and ...

In short brakes are a tool that turn kinetic energy into heat(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brakes). This is accomplished by applying friction in one way or another. In the case of disk brakes friction is created because the braking mechanism exerts a force on the break pads which pushes them into contact with disk. It is this contact combined with the fact that the disks are rotating that causes kinetic energy to be converted to heat.
Firstly, the gas turbine engine operation begins with the air intake process. As of all internal combustion engine, oxygen is required to support the combustion of the fuel and the source of oxygen is from the fresh air that is taken in. Initially, the fan is rotated by a driving shaft that is powered by the turbine of the engine. A negative or vacuum pressure at the intake side is then created by the rotating fan. Next, the surrounding air is drawn towards the inlet and causes it to flow into the gas turbine engine inlet (Cengel & Boles, 2011). At the same time, the pressure on the other side of the fan is increased as it is compressed at a lower pressure ratio and causes the air in the outlet side of the fan to move fu...
