This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Power Stations The production, transmission and distribution of electrical energy on a large scale in an adequate and economical manner is an engineering task of the first magnitude. Each system has its specific details and problems the solutions of which depend largely upon local conditions, but there are certain fundamental engineering and economic principles that apply to all systems. Different men may have charge of the several activities of a power organization, depending upon the size of the system, but the executive head of the utility must be a man with funda mental knowledge of all the engineering and economic aspects of the operations in order that he may make decisions intelligently.' In the power plant, engineers must deal with problems of design and construction of buildings, the installation and opera tion of machines and equipment, the records of operation and the internal organization and Operation of the plant for efficiently utilizing every dollar invested. The transmission of the energy involves a whole mass of engineering work in construction, Operation and organization. And in the distribution and sale of the energy a still more com plex engineering and economic problem is encountered. Beyond all these elements lies the realm of human relationships and the obligations inherent in public utility operations.

This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 938 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plant Engineering The field embraced by the title is a large one and it has been necessary to limit the treatment to essential elements. Much of the matter contained in the author's original notes, including that relat ing to, steam engine design, valve gears, steam boiler design, and the like, has therefore been omitted. The numerous references appear ing throughout the text and the appended bibliographies, which have been carefully compiled, are depended upon to extend the scope of the work. The standard codes of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for conducting engine and boiler trials are in frequent demand by engineers and have therefore been included as an appendix. Authorities have been freely consulted and extensive use made of current engineering literature, due acknowledgment being made by footnote or reference whenever possible. The matter included is representative of American practice and no effort has been made to include any other except in a few special cases. The author wishes to express his obligations to Prof. Raymond Burnham for many valuable suggestions and corrections, and to Mrs. Julia Beveridge, librarian at Armour Institute, for assistance in compiling references.

Download or read book The Mechanical Engineering of Power Plants Classic Reprint written by Frederic Remsen Hutton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanical Engineering of Power Plants This book has been undertaken with two distinct objects in view, and according to a principle suggested by these objects. The first and primary intention is to provide a book to serve as a textbook in class-room work in a University which makes the education of engineers a part of its duty. This object has given the book its form and has determined its arrangement. It must have been observed by every instructor that the most enthusiastic class of students who follow engineering in the schools are those who have had a previous experience in the shop or in the power house which has made them familiar with the conditions which there prevail, and has brought to their attention questions for which they have sought to find answers. It is the wish of its projector that. So far as that condition can be met by any book whatever, this book should put all students of engineering somewhat upon the footing of these fortunate persons. It must therefore present the machinery and appliances of the power house before the reader's mind from the practical or experimental side, and make him familiar with the power plant in its various forms, and seek to familiarize him with the solutions which experi ence and good judgment have proposed for problems of this sort.

Download or read book Steam Power Plants written by Henry C. Meyer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plants: Their Design and Construction Frequently engineers and others in charge of a manufacturing business, be it a mill, factory or electric generating station, are called upon to design and purchase a steam power plant or parts of it when their knowledge of the machinery that goes into such a plant is more or less limited, and without being able to obtain the benefit of the advice of a competent consulting engineer. It is hoped that this book will be of special value to this class and of some value to all interested in steam power-plant construction. Part of the text appeared in a series of articles in the engineer ing record, and when the demand for them seemed to warrant their' being published in book form they were thoroughly revised and considerable new matter added. A number of the illustrations have been selected from articles printed in the engineering record during the last two or three years descriptive of steam power-plant construction. They are reprinted without the text that accompanied them, thinking they would be suggestive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Electric Power and Traction Classic Reprint written by F. H. Davies and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Power and Traction IN common with practically every industry Electrical Engineering has become the centre of a wide and increasing circle of allied trades, of which probably the majority are connected in some way or another with its Power and Traction branches. To the members of such trades and callings, to whom some knowledge of applied Electrical Engineering is desirable if not strictly essential, this book is particularly intended to appeal. It may also be useful to the student as it covers with but small exception purely practical ground, and enters to some extent into those commercial considerations which in the long run must overrule all others. For obvious reasons it is impossible to incorporate in one volume the whole theory and practice of a subject so far reaching as Electric Power and Traction; it therefore becomes necessary at the outset to credit the reader with a certain amount of scientific and technical knowledge: to fix the standard, let us say, such as should naturally have been acquired by observation in the practice of an allied trade and by general reading in an age that is essentially electric.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Investigation and Design of a Power Plant for Mahomet, Illinois: Thesis for the Degree of Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering Mahomet, Illinois is a little village of eight hundred inhabitants, located ten miles west of Champaign on the Big Four Railroad° The occupations of the inhabitants consist mainly of the pursuits which are common to nearly all small places located in the farming communities in central Illinois, The various enterprises consist of blacksmithing, lumber yards, tile yard, stores, bank, etc. The fact that a bank is located there indicates that the people are somewhat pros perous; the brick and concrete side walks; the wav the streets are kept and other municipal improvements, shows in general, that the people take an interest in their local affairs. There are also several well built dwellings occupied by re tired farmers. The village school is one of modern type, There is no probability that the village will decrease in size, or that the land in the community will become less valuableo In fact this village was founded in the Eighteen Forties and has been steadily growing, The growth in the past has been slow, but steady without been or any great disasters, and it is safe to assume that its rate of growth in the fu ture will be much the same as in the past.
