Here's a formula for the tractive effort of a steam engine: Traditional formula for figuring tractive effort of a 2 cylinder steam locomotive: (BP X .85) X (cb X cb) X cs ___________________________ = TE dd BP is boiler pressure cb is cylinder bore cs is cylinder stroke dd is driver wheel diameter TE is tractive effort Example for K-36: (.85 X 195) X (20 X 20) X 24 ____________________________ = 36,136.3636 lbs. This is a theoretical value. Hope this helps.
