Excerpt from Heat as a Source of Power: With Applications of General Principles to the Construction of Steam Generators, an Introduction to the Study of Heat-Engines
These elementary principles constitute the real basis of the science of heat, in its chemical as well as its dynamic relations, and a thorough comprehension of them is necessarily the first step to be taken in the study of heat-engines.
The steam-engine being the principal heat-engine in use at the present day, prominence must be given to the study of the steam generator, as the apparatus through which all processes preliminary to the actual use of steam are accomplished.
