Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book will be of particular interest to people maintaining and working with steam engines in mechanical or factory applications. It includes a wide range of knowledge including: possible faults and how to predict them, the forces exerted by steam, the resistance of different metals to the forces of friction and heat, pipe dimensions and their properties for constructing boilers, mensuration to calculate volume and pressure, and the cohesive force of materials used in engine construction. The author details and examines the operational principles of the steam engine and provides tables, rules, and formulas for calculating specific values. These insights and formulas could be employed to increase the efficiency of an existing steam engine, design a new boiler system, and predict points of failure given the correct input parameters. 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.…
