Download or read book The Bends written by John L. Phillips and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1998-01-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the invention of compressed air in the 1840s, human divers could enter previously inaccessible deep water environments and engineers could design underwater mines and monumental bridges that had never been possible before. But a painful, sometimes fatal illness--decompression sickness, or the bends--mysteriously afflicted many of those who used compressed air. This book is a wide-ranging history of the wonders compressed air brought about and the suffering its unknown hazards inflicted. John L. Phillips explores the intertwining roles of science, technology, engineering, medicine, and politics in the invention of compressed air, the recognition and identification of decompression sickness, and the hundred-year-long process of learning to understand and treat the bends. The book begins with an overview of the biology and chemistry of respiration and a discussion of the steam engine that could generate compressed air. Drawing on previously unpublished letters, diaries, and notes, Phillips tells the story of early uses of compressed air, first observations of decompression sickness, growing awareness of the bends during construction of the Brooklyn Bridge, and efforts to understand the pathophysiology of the illness. He then considers employee health and safety issues, the science of diving today, and human limits to exploring the ocean deeps. In the history of compressed air and its illnesses, Phillips finds important lessons for dealing with other diseases yet to be confronted in the modern world.

Download or read book Compressed Air Data written by William Lawrence Saunders and published by . This book was released on 2002-09-01 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a reprint of the first edition (1919) of a handbook that engineers of all types have found it useful. Originally published by Compressed Air Magazine, it collects under one cover formulae and data on compressed air engineering essential to an understanding of its theory and practical application.It is unlike any other book on the subject, in that it involves no discussion of the details of design and construction of pneumatic machinery of the several manufacturers, but confines itself strictly to those things which every user of such equipment should know, to enable him to derive the greatest benefit from his investment.The volume avoids, generally, the formality associated with a strictly technical work and favors the attention of the busy executive, while at the same time proving a valuable aid to the engineer and student.
