Theory of Machine
The velocity of piston in a reciprocating steam engine is given by (where ω = Angular velocity of crank, r = Radius of crank pin circle, θ = Angle turned by crank from inner dead center, and n = Ratio of length of connecting rod to the radius of crank)

ω²r [sin θ + (sin 2θ/n)]
ωr [cos θ + (cos 2θ/n)]
ωr [sin θ + (sin 2θ/n)]
ω²r [cos θ + (cos 2θ/n)]
