Steam-Engine Design, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint): For the Use of Mechanical Engineers, Students, and Draughtsmen: For the Use of Mechanical Engineers, Students, and Draughtsmen (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Master the engineering of steam engines with a thorough, illustrated design guide. This classic reference covers the application of mechanical principles to steam-engine parts and their attachments, blending theory with practical construction details for engineers, students, and draughtsmen.
Now in its revised second edition, the book offers clear guidance across the full design process—from piston area and cylinder dimensions to valve gear, crank shafts, and condensers. It integrates countless drawings and brings in established methods from Rankine, Rae, Seaton, and others to help you compare approaches and improve accuracy.
Topics span the key components of both simple and compound engines, including design strategies, practical calculations, and considerations for efficiency, maintenance, and repair. The text also discusses the influence of friction and other real-world factors on engine performance.
- Extensive chapters on piston design, valve ports, and slide-valves
- Detailed coverage of crank-effort, friction, and the turning power of engines
- Design guidance for pistons, rods, crank-pins, connecting rods, and gears
- Sections on condensers, pumps, frame work, and propelling devices
Ideal for readers seeking a solid, material-based grounding in steam-engine design and its practical application.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of steam engine design, offering a comprehensive guide for engineers and mechanics of the late 19th century. It meticulously explores the application of mechanical principles to the design of various steam engine components, encompassing pistons, cylinders, valves, and more. Emerging during the apex of the Industrial Revolution, the book reflects the era's burgeoning technological advancements and the pivotal role steam power played in shaping industries and transportation. The author meticulously examines different engine types, considering factors such as clearance, piston speed, friction, and fuel economy, to guide the reader towards optimal design choices for specific applications. Beyond technical specifications, the book delves into the theoretical underpinnings of steam engine operation. It elucidates concepts like crank effort diagrams, the influence of reciprocating parts, and the impact of friction on efficiency. This theoretical foundation is complemented by practical insights, including empirical formulas and design considerations drawn from experienced engineers of the time. By bridging theory and practice, the book empowers readers to not only grasp the complexities of steam engine design but also to translate those principles into tangible, efficient machines that propelled the industrial era forward. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
