Slide-Valves a Book for Practical Men on the Principles and Methods of Design; With an Explanation of the Principles of Shaft-Governors (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Mastering slide-valve design for practical engines
Discover clear, step-by-step explanations of how slide valves control steam admission and exhaust, and how they link to piston motion and power.
This edition explains the fundamental principles of valve operation, valve-gear, and the relationship between valve movement and piston travel. It includes practical layouts, examples, and design rules shown through figures and worked problems, making complex ideas accessible for engineers and builders.- How steam-chest, ports, and exhaust-port shape the cylinder’s breathing.
- How eccentricity, cranks, and rovers translate piston motion into valve movement.
- Guidance on laying out valve seats, false seats, laps, and bridges for different valve types.
- Worked design problems that illustrate calculating travel, lead, and maximum port openings.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an understanding of slide valves, an essential component of steam engines. It begins with the basics of valve mechanisms, then covers valve gears and steam distribution. Turning to the geometry of slide valves, the author provides valve dimensions and explores how to affect engine events by manipulating key dimensions. The book concludes with a look at the dynamics of slide valve engines, with an emphasis on the Zeuner diagram method for valve analysis.
