Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gas, Petrol, and Oil Engine, Vol. 1: Thermodynamics of the Gas, Petrol, and Oil Engine, Together With Historical Sketch
In the present volume the author has attempted to systematise the knowledge existing as to the properties of the working fluid of the internal-combustion Engine, whether using gas, petrol, or heavy oil, so as to enable the engineer and inventor to consider not only mechanical modifications of engine construction, but more profound alterations possible by varying the actions going on in the working fluid. Such variations are, in the author's Opinion, necessary to enable light and powerful internal-combustion Engines to be developed for marine work. For this purpose it is necessary that the engineer should be thoroughly familiar with the properties of the working fluid with which he is dealing.
Appendices have been added to make clear many of the properties of gaseous explosions, and the valuable Report of the British Association Committee on Gaseous Explosions has been published in full in Appendix IV. This Report, published at Section G, Dublin, in 1908, contains the latest information available on all the pro petties of gaseous explosions.
The author has freely availed himself of the various important Papers and Reports published by the Royal Society, the Institution of Civil Engineers, and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He is greatly indebted to the Institution of Civil Engineers for permission to use many blocks, and is much indebted also to the Institution of Mechanical Engineers for permission to reproduce figs. 108 to 118 inclusive.
