Master the essentials of steam engineering with a trusted, in-depth reference. This comprehensive guide explains the fundamentals of gases, heat, and the steam cycle, then builds toward practical topics like fuels, combustion, boiler design, and engine efficiency. Clear explanations help readers grasp how pressure, volume, and temperature interact in real-world systems.
Designed for secondary technical schools and practical training, the book blends theory with engineering practice. It covers key concepts, standard diagrams, and the reasoning behind common boiler and engine designs, making it a reliable foundation for students and professionals alike. The edition emphasizes safe, effective methods and the logic behind design choices, rather than abstract theory alone.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Stemming from four years of experience teaching engineering alongside elementary thermodynamics, this book is the culmination of the author's in-class instruction. Its aim is to provide the maximum amount of engineering instruction admissible for secondary level students, with a view to building a foundation upon which to pursue a degree in engineering. The text is designed for third and fourth year students with a focus on the application of heat to water, fuels and combustion, and efficiency. Alongside essential steam boiler operation, students will learn about boiler and engine efficiency, as well as steam turbines, and be introduced to the broader context of thermodynamics, the first and second laws, and the concept of energy conservation. Presenting a wealth of knowledge in an accessible way, this guide is perfect for both students and interested readers who want to enhance their understanding of steam engineering, its history, and its place within the broader scientific landscape.
