The author traces the evolution of steam turbine design, from the early experiments of Sir Charles Parsons to the massive turbines that power modern ships and power plants. Along the way, the author examines the theoretical underpinnings of steam turbine operation and discusses the practical challenges that engineers faced in bringing this technology to market. The book also considers the broader impact of steam turbines on the development of modern industrial society, from the electrification of cities to the rise of the global shipping industry. Ultimately, the book argues that the steam turbine is one of the most important inventions of the 19th century, and its continued use today is a testament to its enduring significance.
