Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book overhauls our understanding of the design strategy behind slide valve gearing, a fundamental mechanism in steam engines. A graphical method is introduced, allowing engineers to calculate - with ruler and compasses alone - the key geometrical relationships governing valve movement. The author distils complex mathematical theory into easy-to-understand steps. The simplified process demonstrated in this book gives readers the power to design steam engines with the precision of mathematical formulae, yet without the need for advanced mathematical understanding. This book will appeal to mechanical engineers seeking to extend their knowledge of steam engines, or those with an interest in applying graphic methods to mechanical engineering problems. Its blend of historical context and practical techniques brings a fresh perspective to this time-honored subject. 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.…
