Download or read book The Gas Petrol and Oil Engine Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Dugald Clerk and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gas, Petrol, and Oil Engine, Vol. 2 The first volume of the new edition of this work was published in 1909, so that three years have been spent in the preparation of the present volume, which deals with practical problems of design, con struction and operation of Gas, Petrol, and Oil Engines. The author has been fortunate in securing the co-operation of Mr. G. A. Burls, in collecting information and writing the book. Chapters I, II, V and XII are by the author Chapters VII, VIII, IX and XI are by Mr. Burls while Chapters III, IV, VI and X are in great part the work of Mr. Burls. The whole work, however, has been the subject of joint discussion, and the book as it now stands correctly represents the opinions of both writers. The aim throughout all the chapters has been the comparison of early and late constructions and the discussion of various problems which have appeared in the course of the development of the various types of engine since the introduction of the Otto cycle in 1876. Chapters I and II deal broadly with the development of four and two-stroke engines, and describe various difficulties which have been encountered and partially overcome; results of operation are given and various tests are dealt with both in the works and in practical Operation in factories. Chapter III deals with igniting arrangements, and describes and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods used, tracing the development which has demonstrated the supremacy of electrical ignition in its best forms. Chapter IV describes governors and governing methods as practised on the Continent and in England and America.

Download or read book Valves and Valve Gears Vol 2 written by Franklin Deronde Furman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-18 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valves and Valve Gears, Vol. 2: Gasoline, Gas, and Oil Engines The part of this work on Valves and Valve Gears which relates to internal combustion engines is printed as a separate volume in order to meet the requirements Of varying courses of study, and the needs of those generally who are interested only in gasoline, gas, or Oil engines. This will enable those who wish to study particular cases to do so without being encumbered with literature relating to the steam engine when only matter concerning the internal combustion engine is desired, or vice versa. Those who wish to make a general study Of the methods of oper ating the several types Of internal combustion engines should first study Sections III and IV Of Volume I of this work. In these sec tions it is shown that seven fundamental valve forms underlie all valves in general use, and that six fundamental mechanisms, with their variations, underlie all valve gears whether applied to internal combustion engines or to steam engines. An understanding Of how the whole subject of valves and valve gears for all prime movers can be reduced to so few fundamental forms should materially aid in obtaining a grasp Of the subject as it is applied, in the present volume, to practical gasoline, gas, and Oil engines. The preface given in Volume I applies to this work on Valves and Valve Gears as a whole, and the comments and acknowledgments there made refer to this second volume as well as to the first. It is.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Koerting Double-Acting Two-Cycle Gas Engine HE discovery of the fact that gases Of low heating capacity could be used effectively in gas engines has created a demand for one of higher grade than was previously called for. This demand for high - class engines was more pronounced in Europe than in this country for the reason that the relative cheapness of steam coal here prevented the general introduction of gas-producer plants.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise: On Modern Gas and Oil Engines In 1838 Barnett made practical use of the principle of compression by constructing a single-acting motor cylinder, at each side of which was placed a gas and air pump. The three pistons moved simultaneously in the same directions the gas and air pumps delivered into a receiver, from which communication was made to the motor cylinder as the charge was ignited. Barnett afterwards constructed double acting engines, but with less success. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book on Gas, Oil, and Air Engines One reason which may account for the great develop ment Of gas and Oil motors, besides their convenience and absence of a boiler, is their much larger thermal efficiency, as compared with that of steam engines. The best modern compound or triple steam motors, using 120 to lbs. Steam pressure, working with about the same piston speed as gas engines, give from 10 to 15 per cent. Heat efficiency; in other words, Of the total heat given to the engine, some 12 per cent. Only is converted into indicated work. With gas it is sometimes as much as 28 per cent; more Often.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gas, Gasoline and Oil Engines: Including Complete Gas Engine Glossary AS the soot and monoxide have a calorific value it is evident that much of the heat Of the fuel is wasted if they are exhausted from the cylinder without further burning at the end of the stroke. To gain every possible heat unit it is necessary to fur: nish sufficient oxygen or air to reduce the fuel to its lowest state. As the free oxygen and nitrogen contained in the fuel are without fuel value, their rejection from the cylinder oc casions no loss except for that heat which they take from the cylinder by virtue Of their high temperature.
