Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the relative efficiency of screw propellers and paddle wheels when applied to vessels of identical tonnage and steam power. The author draws on a wealth of data from experiments conducted on various ships, including the Himalaya and the Rattler, to demonstrate that the screw propeller outperforms the paddle wheel in terms of efficiency, economy, and overall performance. The book explores the historical context of ship propulsion systems, examining the evolution of screw propellers and paddle wheels, and discusses the theoretical and practical considerations involved in selecting the most suitable propulsion system for a particular vessel. Through a combination of empirical data, historical insights, and technical analysis, the author presents a compelling argument for the superiority of screw propellers in marine propulsion. Additionally, the book delves into the complexities of ship design and propulsion, examining the relationship between midship section, rate of sailing, and the power required to overcome resistance. The author's meticulous research and clear explanations make this book an invaluable resource for naval architects, marine engineers, and anyone interested in the history and science of ship propulsion. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
