Excerpt from A Manual of the Steam-Engine, Vol. 2: Design, Construction, and Operation; For Engineers and Technical Schools (Advanced Courses)
In the discussions of the effects of inertia, as exhibited in the action of the fly-wheel and of the reciprocating parts, the graphical methods have been preferred, where choice was permitted, for the reasons already given. The algebraic equa tions give isolated values of the quantity sought, also; while the curves obtained, in many cases, by graphical construction, are a visible history of the continuous variations of condition and result throughout the cycle, or the period studied. The physical concept is thus vastly more easily and satisfactorily obtained, and a correspondingly better understanding of the case is reached.
The chapters on the construction and erection, and on the operation and care, of the engine are necessarily very concise.
