Synopsis
Excerpt from The Steam-Engine and Other Steam-Motors, Vol. 1 of 2: A Text-Book for Engineering Colleges and a Treatise for Engineers; The Thermodynamics and the Mechanics of the Engine
This work is mainly descriptive and analytical, developing and illustrating principles and establishing methods for solving the various problems which arise in connection with the working of the engine. The writer has planned a subsequent treatise, on the Performance and Design of the Engine: this will take up the quantitative and synthetical side of the subject, giving the digested results of a large number of tests, now available in works of refer ence; setting forth methods of engine-testing; and developing, as far as practicable, a logical scheme of design, especially of the thermodynamic design of the engine. This is several times re ferred to, in the text, as Part II. (of a complete treatise).

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the thermodynamics and mechanics of the steam engine, a subject which formed the basis of the first industrial revolution. The author, an experienced professor of mechanical engineering, begins by laying a solid foundation in the fundamental principles of the steam engine before moving on to describe the working of the main working mechanism in detail, giving special attention to force-action and motion, working forces and friction. The theoretical design of the engine is also covered in detail, along with more specialized topics such as the steam-jet and entropy-temperature analysis. This book is an essential resource for students seeking a foundational understanding of the steam engine and for experienced engineers seeking to expand their knowledge of this important subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780282349820_0
