Synopsis

Using the principles of thermodynamics, this book details how to use an indicator to analyze the efficiency of steam engine and ammonia compressor performance. The author thoroughly explains the connections and operations necessary for using an indicator. He also created tables with constants to help users calculate and plot the adiabatic and isothermal curves for their indicator cards. This allows users to quickly see if their compressor or engine is working as it should and to locate any issues. Whether users are looking to confirm their equipment is running properly or to pinpoint problems, this book provides a practical, easy-to-follow guide. The troubleshooting insights and theoretical explanations within will appeal to mechanical engineers, refrigeration engineers, and plant operators.
