Excerpt from The Practical Physics of the Modern Steam Boiler, Vol. 1
MY purpose in this book is to give prominence to the funda mental principles which affect the form and the action of steam boilers. So many excellent treatises have been published which deal with the regulations concerning, and the structural details of, boilers of the cylindrical type in a word, with what may be called the Mechanics of the steam boiler treating of the boiler as a machine), that it has seemed to me useless to repeat chapters on strength of materials, on riveting and joints, and on numerous other interesting and important matters. I have not thought it necessary or advisable to follow that well-beaten track, but have endeavoured to take another path, as guided by the indications of physical research towards the goal of a fuller understanding of the actions involved in steam raising, and of the requirements of efficient boilers.
Thus the pages of this book are occupied with the practical Physics of the steam boiler (treating of the boiler as a heat engine), and deal more particularly with that which may be termed the modern form, the water-tube boiler. My aim in them is therefore not so much to treat of how boilers are made, as to consider on what lines they may be improved.

Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a refreshing look into the engineering of steam boilers, which have been vital for the development of steam power in the Industrial Revolution and remain central to power generation today. Despite this, the technical knowledge in this field has not kept pace with modern science. This text seeks to remedy this by introducing the fundamental physical principles which underpin boiler design and operation. With a focus on water-tube boilers, an increasingly vital technology as steam power continues to drive human advancement, the author presents a thorough examination of combustion, heat transfer, and the circulation of water and gases within boilers. The principles elucidated in this book will enable engineers to move beyond boiler design based on mere convention or rule of thumb and facilitate the production of more efficient steam boilers, an essential element of our present and future energy infrastructure. 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 9781331665342_0
