Modern Engines and Power Generators, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint): A Practical Work on Prime Movers and the Transmission of Power, Steam, Electric, Water ... Electric, Water and Hot Air (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Explore the design and operation of rotary piston engines with practical, hands‑on detail.
This book presents a thorough look at Hult rotary marine engines, focusing on how two and three shutters control steam admission, expansion, and exhaust. It uses clear diagrams (such as Fig. 247–250) to show how the shutters, admission valves, and revolving tubes work together to create power and smooth running at high speed. The text also explains how lubrication is managed in a high‑speed rotor engine, including an automatic lubricator driven by the engine itself.
- How the steam ports and shutters interact to produce forward and reverse motion
- The role of the revolving admission tube and the governor in timing and performance
- The lubrication system and how rolling friction reduces wear
- Differences and trade‑offs between two‑shutter and three‑shutter configurations
Ideal for readers of practical engineering, marine propulsion history, and diesel‑era machine design who want a clear, hands‑on description of early rotary engines and their operating principles.
