Excerpt from The Development of the Philosophy of the Steam-Engine: An Historical Sketch
Practically available, form. Its final shape must probably be given it by some such master of math ematical and physical science as was Rankine, or such as was Clausius but the main principles and the essential facts of a complete theory are unques tionably now well determined and well recognized by the most advanced thinkers and most intelligent practitioners, and are in various ways presented by the recognized authorities among later writers. It is at least practicable, to-day, whenever a design is to be prepared, to compute from known and well established data the probable wastes of the engine and its efficiency under prescribed conditions, and with such accuracy that no serious apprehension need be felt by the designing engineer in regard to the ultimate outcome of his venture financially and commercially. It is always the commercial as pect of the case that most concerns him. The method of Professor Marks may be adopted in com puting the heat-transfer and consequent waste with in the engine, for all cases of similar character to those for which the data were taken by him, and probably for a much wider range of conditions.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of the theory of the steam engine, its applications, and the limitations of its theory. Beginning with the mechanical theory of heat and the science of thermodynamics, the author explores how these principles were applied to the steam engine, leading to the determination of the unavoidable losses involved in the transformation of heat into mechanical energy. The book also examines the physical processes that contribute to these losses, such as conduction, radiation, and internal condensation. By incorporating these physical phenomena into the theory of the steam engine, a more complete understanding of its efficiency and operation is achieved. This book provides valuable insights into the historical development and scientific principles that govern the steam engine, making it an essential resource for engineers and those interested in the history of technology.
