Synopsis

This book delivers practical rules and formulas for determining the relative proportions of individual steam engine components. This kind of guide has been lacking for engineers and aspiring engineers, and this meticulously researched and clearly written book fills the gap in the literature. Covering cylinder thickness, steam chest dimensions, piston rod diameter, key size, crosshead design, and more, the author uses clear language, graphs, and tables to illustrate the concepts. The author builds upon the work of notable scientists and engineers such as Rankine, Zeuner, Poncelet, and Reuleaux to provide insight that is both accessible and authoritative. Ultimately, this book empowers the reader with practical knowledge for designing steam engines.
