Mining | A. The effort exerted by a locomotive at the rim of its driving wheels; it is a function of its weight, the nature of its tires, and the condition of the track. It is equal to the weight of the locomotive times the adhesion of the locomotive to the track. For steel wheels on clean dry track the adhesion is 25%, and the tractive effort is therefore 500 lb/st of weight (250 kg/t). For cast-iron wheels the adhesion is 20% b. The necessary drawbar pull plus the resistance of the locomotive itself. (references) |
