ROJAS-SOLA, JOSÉ IGNACIO  and  URENA-MARIN, JOSÉ RAMÓN. THE STEAM ENGINES IN SUGARCANE PRODUCTION IN SPAIN: COMPARATIVE AwNALYSIS. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2012, vol.79, n.171, pp.183-190. ISSN 0012-7353.

This paper presents a research of the history of the technology applied used for the production of sugarcane, making a comparative analysis of the main steam engines widespread in Spain, were of Scottish technology Mirrlees-Watson and French technology Fives Lille. It has been briefly outlined the process for obtaining sugarcane, and also a brief description of the main features of both in its similarity to finish exposing a comparative analysis in terms of power by analytical and graphical methods (dynamic power diagram ). As a result of this study, the superiority of the Mirrlees-Watson engine in front of the Fives-Lille in total to the power has been exposed.
