So in going through boiler designs I am curious how to determine the volume of steam a particular engine needs. This mostly relates to the size of tubing to use with the boiler. We talk a lot about steam pressure but is there a volume component to this? How would tubing diameter compare between a single small oscillator and an engine using 4 of the same sized cylinders? What about larger volume engines? Is there a relationship between engine displacement and tubing size requirements?
