QUESTION 1
1.1
As an engineer in Birmingham in 1860, I would improve the Newcomen steam engine
by introducing measures that reduce pollution, conserve resources and improve
efficiency. The following environmental adaptations could be made:
1. Improve fuel efficiency – Modify the engine so that it burns less coal, reducing
smoke and harmful emissions released into the atmosphere.
2. Install taller chimneys and smoke-control methods – This would help reduce
local air pollution affecting nearby communities and workers.
3. Reuse and recycle water – Introduce a closed water circulation system to
reduce wastage of water resources.
