Excerpt from A New Theory of the Steam Engine: And the Mode of Calculation by Means of It, of the Effective Power, &C. Of Every Kind of Steam Engine, Stationary or Locomotive
A mode perfectly similar is followed, for deter mining the vaporization which an engine ought to produce in order to produce a desired effect; that is to say, for resolving the third of the problems which we have presented above. As to the second of these problems, that which consists in determining the velocity the engine will assume under a given load, no solution of it has been proposed in this way, and we shall expose, farther on, some fruitless essays that have been made to resolve it in another way.
As in the above-mentioned calculation no account is taken of friction, nor of some other circumstances which appear likely to diminish the power of the engine, the difference observed between the theoretical and the practical result excites no surprise, and is readily attributed to the circumstances neglected in the calculation.

A New Theory of the Steam Engine (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book revolutionizes how steam engines are understood and used, particularly in the context of locomotives. The author argues that prior methods to calculate steam engine efficiency are inaccurate, that they cannot determine an engine's load-bearing capacity at different speeds, and that they fail to fully account for steam pressure and load on the piston at any given moment. By providing new formulas to calculate engine efficiency, the author presents a more precise understanding of how an engine's vaporization, velocity, load, and useful effect interact. This book presents a new theory of steam engine power and efficiency that will be of great value to engineers, inventors, and anyone interested in the history of steam power. 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 9781330154083_0
