Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam and Other Engines Construction of the cylinder. - The cylinder is constructed with various passages, or ports, formed in it so that the steam may flow as required. The distribution of the steam first to one side and then to the other side of the piston is effected by means of valves, of which there are many varieties. These valves are opened and closed at the proper instants by means of a mechanism driven from the crank shaft, so that the engine is self-acting. A common form of cylinder is shown in section in Fig. 2. A is the cylinder, made of cast-iron, and fitted with a cast-iron piston B. 0 is the piston rod, secured firmly to the piston, and passing through a hole D in the cylinder end. A box E of rectangular shape, called the steam chest, is cast on to the side of the cylinder, and is provided with a movable cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Steam Engine and Its Inventors: A Historical Sketch AS the following sketch of the history of the Steam Engine is on a somewhat different plan from most of the treatises on the same subject which have preceded it, a few words of explanation in reference to the course pursued may be desirable. No attempt is made to give an account of all the machines in which steam has been employed. The sole object aimed at is to exhibit the successive steps in the development of the cylinder and piston engine, which is the great prime mover of modern times. This engine was not origin ally a steam engine; it passed through several phases of existence in which steam gradually came to perform a more and more important part. It was not the invention of one individual, nor of one nation, nor of one age. Its growth has been a gradual and slow process; important modifications of its mechanism have been effected from time to time. No fact.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Engines When in action a certain amount of steam to of the total cylinder volume in simple engines) is admitted to one end of the cylinder, while the other is open to the atmosphere. The steam forces the piston forward a certain distance by its direct action at the boiler pressure. After the supply is shut off, the forward movement of the piston is continued to the end of the stroke by the expansion of the steam. Steam is now admitted to the other end of the cylinder, and the operation repeated on the backward or return stroke.

Download or read book Mechanism of Steam Engines written by Walter H. James and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mechanism of Steam Engines This book is intended as an elementary treatise on the kinematics of reciprocating steam engines and steam turbines. Sufficient attention is given to the behavior of the steam itself to enable the student to study intelligently the machine for which the steam is the source of power. The indicator card, or pressure-volume diagram, is employed in this connection. No consideration is given to the underlying heat theory or to the details of construction of the various parts of the machines. The book has been planned primarily to meet the needs of students who take up this subject as a part of, or immediately following, their course in the elements of mechanism, before they study the theory and practice of heat engineering or machine design. The purpose of the authors has been to present the subject in such a way as to make clear to the beginner the mechanical principles on which the steam engine operates, with special reference to the valve gear and governing devices, and the various diagrams used for studying the same. Examples are given of the different types of mechanisms, these examples being chosen merely to illustrate principles and methods, without particular reference to their relative importance. In dealing with a subject which has been so thoroughly developed as has the steam engine, it would be useless to claim that any new principles are set forth in an elementary textbook such as the present one.r The aim is to treat the subject in a logical manner, as concisely as possible, yet with sufficiently detailed explanations to make the principles easily understood. Chapter X describes the principle of action of steam turbines in general and explains briefly the various types of turbines, giving an example of each. Chapter XI treats of the method of controlling the steam supply to turbines and describes two mechanisms which are used for this purpose. Thanks are due to the various builders of engines and turbines for their ready response to requests for information, for the loan of cuts, and for permission to make free use of the material contained in their publications. Acknowledgment is also made of the assistance rendered by the authors' associates at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam-Engine Principles and Practice The economics of the use of condensers with steam engines and of employing multi-expansion engines are next considered and are followed by a division on steam-engine efficiencies and how to increase them. The material in the next division, on steam engines of modern types, concerns the distinctive features, economics and costs of engines of the present day. The testing of steam engines is then treated. Following this are divisions on the management, Operation and repair of reciprocating engines and on the use of superheated steam in engines which, it is hoped, will be of great value to the engineer. Next, the selection of steam engines is discussed from a purely but broadly economic standpoint. Finally, a thorough treatment of lubrication is. Presented which, although it relates Specifically to steam engines, Should prove of general value also as it applies to other machinery.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam and the Steam Engine: Land, Marine, and Locomotive The chief aim of the author of this book has been to supply a want that he, in common with a large body of teachers, has experienced for many years. There is on Steam no cheap work that a teacher can put into the hands of his pupils, to give them at once a full and comprehensive idea of the whole subject. The author has striven to supply this defect, and to produce a work correct in its facts, safe in its deductions, and containing, where possible, new and original matter, or the old matter presented under new aspects. How far he has succeeded is for others to judge. An attempt has been made, not only to give the reader an insight into the details and specialities of the different kinds of engines employed to do man's work, but to make him understand the various principles upon which each part of the Steam Engine 'does that work, the relation these parts bear to each other, and the life or physiology, so to speak, of the whole.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Steam Engine The properties of this vapor and their applicability to the wants of social life were discovered, will form one of the main subjects of this volume. There is no experiment in the whole range of science which would create more curious wonder than the boiling of water and the production of steam, if it were but novel. That water should be put into a. Close vessel as a heavy fluid, obe dient, like all other solids and liquids, to the law of gravitation, and that after a short period of exposure to heat it should burst out as an elastic, bounding vapor, rising and spreading instead of falling, is a phenomenon quite as surprising as the formation of a solid by the mixture of two liquids, or any other marvel of modern chemistry. But it is generally viewed without interest, be cause it is daily seen, and what little is known about its properties is commonly learned from household tradition, rather than from thought or investigation. Few, however, are so ignorant as not to know that when water has been made hot enough to boil, the heat it continues to receive is employed in converting it into steam, and that this steam has a. Great expansive power. Now it is this property of expansion which gives steam its mechanical force. The same principle which, on a small scale, causes the cover of the tea kettle to rise, will, when steam is generated in larger vessels, and allowed to gather force by accumulation, lift up the most ponderous weights. To the force of this vapor, indeed, there is no limit but the magnitude and strength of the boil ers in which it is generated. If steam, however.

This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Steam Engine and the Indicator The early chapters refer especially to the history of the steam engine, and to the theory of the action of steam in the cylinder of a steam engine, and the succeeding ones to the application of the theory in practice. Having felt personally the want of more practical informa tion on the subject than is contained in existing works, it has been the aim of the writer to supply such want, and to enable those who have not the opportunity of making experiments to gain a more intimate knowledge of the indicator. And it is hoped that the directions here given for the practical applica tion of this instrument will at the same time give the volume a considerable degree of interest to those engineers who are conversant with its ordinary working, but lack a knowledge of the principles involved.
