Excerpt from The Steam Engine and Turbine: A Text-Book for Engineering Colleges
Viewing the steam plant as a whole, a line is drawn between the members that have to do with the generation and impartation of heat, and those concerned with its conversion into work through the agency of steam. In other words, the furnace and boiler, with their acces scries, are taken to constitute a subject for treatment elsewhere, except that allusion is freely made to their functions. But on the side of the steam machine a comprehensive presentation is undertaken: to the writer it appears that the study of the piston engine and of the turbine can most effectively and profitably be combined in a single course.
It is assumed that the student approaches the subject with at least a general knowledge of the form and working of the steam plant, and with a good preparation in the elements of physics and of mechanics. All deductions along the latter lines begin, however, with basal facts or principles, so that the book shall be self-contained on that side. In the matter of thermodynamics, which is carried only so far as it is of immediate use and application, a special effort is made to develop con cepts and ideas, not merely to build up a mathematical, abstract strue ture on a few axioms. An excess of mathematics is avoided, preference being largely given to graphical methods. Many numerical examples illustrate and enforce the text, emphasize the quantitative side of the subject, and will suggest problems for class-room use.

Excerpt from The Steam Engine and Turbine: A Text-Book for Engineering Colleges
In part this book is adapted from the writer's Steam Engine and Other Steam Motors, in larger part it is rewritten or newly written. The textbook idea and the purpose of class-room use have continually been kept in mind. Mechanical form and manner of working are illustrated by selected, typical examples of construction; rational theory is built up, from fundamental concepts to the fully-developed ideal steam engine; and actual performance is studied and compared with the ideal, an especial effort being made to set forth clearly and logically the empirical knowledge which must fill the gap between them.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents foundational knowledge on steam engines and turbines, serving as a helpful resource for engineering students and professionals. Through introductory chapters that lay out basic definitions, thermodynamic operations, and heat engine principles, the author builds to detailed analyses of steam action in turbine engines. The book presents both static force and dynamic force principles of steam turbine operation and delves into the function, construction, and operation of key engine components. The author provides illustrations, equations, numerical examples, and references throughout the text to enhance understanding and ensure applicability. A discussion of performance and efficiency of steam engines and turbines, as well as governing and auxiliaries, provides practical context. 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 9781330319574_0
