Excerpt from The Theory of the Steam Engine: Showing the Inaccuracy of the Methods in Use
The English professor Whewell, whose name is so well known in science, inserted also the principles Of this theory in the third edition of his Treatise on Mechanics many engineers made it the basis of their calculations for the use of locomotive engines upon divers railways; and finally, at the moment when the present work appears, we find that M. Wood, in the third edition of his Treatise on Rail roads, London, 1888, has just adopted it likewise, (pages 555 without mentioning there from what source he has it, but afterwards repairing that omission in a slip added at the beginning of his work.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book questions the accepted theory for calculating steam-engine power output and offers a new theory based on the principle that, when the engine reaches uniform motion, the steam pressure in the cylinder is regulated solely by the resistance of the load, not by boiler pressure. The author demonstrates the errors of the old theory through practical examples and develops new analytical formulas to solve various steam-engine problems, including calculating friction, velocity, load, evaporation, and maximum useful effect. The book provides a more accurate understanding of steam-engine operation and can help engineers and practitioners optimize engine design and performance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330099971_0
