How Titanic's Engines Worked

Today, I will explain how Titanic's engines worked. If you are confused about how the engines work, this is for you!

• First, firemen would shovel coal into the boiler furnaces, which created steam. 
• This steam powered the two reciprocating engines, which turned the two side propellers.
• Leftover steam went to the turbine, which powered the central propeller.
• Leftover steam went to the condensers, which turned the steam into water and sent it back to the boiler rooms.

Titanic had 24 double ended boilers, which means they have 3 furnaces on the front and back. The double ended boilers were in Boiler Rooms 6-2. Titanic also had 5 single ended boilers, which means they only have furnaces on one side. The single ended boilers were only in Boiler Room 1. Boiler Room 6 had 4 boilers, all the other boiler rooms had 5 boilers.
