how did steam engine popel industrialization
supply power way faster than current watermills and human/animal power
industries inpacted y indus. rev.
iron coal transportatin textles chemicals food processing
how was iron affected by industrialization
- the steam enigine provides practical way for ovens to be constantly heated (because it needs to be heated and cooled to be manipulated)
- the steam engine+theiron purification process increased ion manufacturing capability
first industry to beniefit from steam engine
iron
how coal affected industrialization
-coal back then was plentiful in england so it replaced wood as a feul
——was the sourec of energy to operate steam engines and the iron ovens
coal
who invented ‘‘coke’’
darby
whats coke
purified carbon made from coal
-more combustable than coal so its a better source for heat and gas for smelting iron ore
how transportation affected industrialization
diffused the industrialization
first —- and —— enables factories to bring bulky raw materials and ship finished goods to coustomers
canals and railroads
how did europe’s problems retard the diffusion of railroads
cooperation among small neighborhood states is essential to build efficient rail netwok and raise money for constructins and operatin the system
-rails were delayed 50 yrs because of uncooperations
how was texstiles affected by industrialization
transformed cottage industries into concentrated factory system
-arkwright invented a untangling machine fo cotton which w as too big for a house, so spinners were put in factories near running water
how was chemicals affected by industrialization
-an industry was created to bleach and cye cloth
