The Testing of Motive-Power Engines Including Steam Engines and Turbines, Locomotives, Motives, Boilers, Condensers, Internal, Combustion Engines, Gas Producers, Refrigerators, Air Compressors, Fans, - Hardcover
Synopsis
A practical guide to testing motive-power engines and their components
This technical handbook explains how engineers measure and analyze the performance of steam and internal combustion engines, boilers, condensers, and related equipment. It emphasizes systematic experiments, meaningful data, and real-world testing conditions to improve reliability and efficiency.
This edition lays out principles, measurement methods, and calculation approaches that practitioners use in labs and on the shop floor. It covers how to plan a series of tests, how to set up test beds, and how to interpret results for better plant operation and reporting. The text is written for engineering students and practicing engineers seeking practical guidance and thorough reference material.- Understand the core concepts of motive-power testing, including pressure, temperature, and heat flow.
- Learn how to measure brake horsepower, boiler performance, and condenser behavior with standardized procedures.
- Explore testing of locomotives, motor cars, steam engines, turbines, and internal combustion engines with step-by-step methods.
- Access guidance on arranging tests, recording observations, and calculating energy use, efficiency, and losses.
