About this title

Synopsis

A practical, hands-on laboratory reference for steam and gas engineering.

This nationally recognized manual guides students through real-world experiments, from measuring gages and thermometers to testing engines, boilers, fuels, and gas analysis methods. It combines clear directions, data forms, and example apparatus to help aspiring engineers develop accurate measurement and analytical skills.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A structured plan for two reports per experiment, with objects, methods, and data recording forms already in place.
• Step-by-step laboratory procedures for instrument handling, lubrication, steam engines, boilers, and fuel testing.
• Illustrated figures and tables showing essential equipment like indicators, calorimeters, planimeters, Orsat and Hempel gas analysers, and various testing rigs.
• A broad range of experiments on combustion analysis, gas and fuel properties, boiler performance, and engine behavior, all aimed at building practical, transferable engineering know-how.

What you’ll experience:

• Hands-on measurement and data collection for steam and gas equipment
• Practical analysis techniques for emissions, fuel composition, and energy efficiency
• Guidance on writing precise lab reports and presenting results clearly
• A historical, foundational reference backed by diagrams, charts, and tables

Ideal for students and professionals seeking a classical, field-tested laboratory approach to steam and gas engineering, with emphasis on actual testing, instrumentation, and data interpretation.
