About this title

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.

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
