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 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book expounds on the fundamental principles of steam engines and motors. It presents a comprehensive overview of the subject, expertly combining theory and practice, giving readers a solid grasp of steam engine operations and enabling them to analyze engine performance with ease. The text delves into relevant physical and mechanical principles, and lays a strong foundation in the thermodynamics of heat engines. It explores the properties of steam, applying them to the analysis of steam engine processes and the assessment of engine efficiency. The book also presents a detailed study of the mechanics of the main working mechanism of the engine, encompassing force-action, motion, working forces, and shaking-force. A unique feature of this book is its thorough examination of the dynamics of steam and steam jets. It establishes quantitative expressions for the adiabatic steam jet and elucidates its mechanical action. This knowledge forms the basis for the subsequent discussion of steam-jet applications in steam engines, steam calorimeters, injectors, and jet blowers. The book also includes an insightful analysis of the entropy-temperature diagram, providing a powerful tool for understanding steam engine behavior. Furthermore, it presents a comprehensive description of engine design and construction, including valve gears, governors, and steam action in compound engines. The author's systematic exposition of the subject makes this book an indispensable resource for students, engineers, and anyone seeking a comprehensive understanding of steam engines.
