Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mechanism of Steam Engines 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.

Book excerpt: A history of the creation and evolution of the mechanism that brought precision to the steam power and changed the world. Power without control is unusable power, and long after the invention of the steam engine, finding ways of applying that power to tasks where consistency was of paramount importance was the ‘Holy Grail’ which many steam engineers sought to find. It was the centrifugal governor which brought precision to the application of steam power, and its story can be traced back to seventeenth-century Holland and Christiaan Huygens’ development of both the pendulum clock and system controls for windmills, and governors are still at the heart of sophisticated machinery today—albeit electronic rather than mechanical. Without the centrifugal governor, precise control over the increasingly-complex machinery which has been developed over the past two centuries would not have been possible. It was the first device to give the engineman the control they needed. As machine speed increased, the governor had to evolve to keep pace with the demands for greater precision. Over a hundred British patents were applied for in the nineteenth century alone for ‘improvements’ in governor design, many of which could be fitted, or retro-fitted, to engines from every large manufacturer. Some enginemen, on taking up new appointments—their jobs depending on the precision and consistency of their engine’s operation—would even request that the governor be replaced with their preferred model. This book, the first to deal with the subject, tells the story of the evolution of the original ‘spinning-ball’ governor from its first appearance to the point where it became a small device entirely enclosed in a housing to keep it clean, and thus hidden from view. Praise for The Governor “A beautiful, well-produced book that any engineering-minded person with a passion for steam engines will be proud to own. It traces the story of attempts to get the speed of steam engines and other machinery under control. . . . The book is lavishly illustrated with many beautiful photographs of some of the author's favourite machines. . . . I found this a gloriously well-produced book which I devoured enthusiastically! I commend it to anyone with a serious interest in mechanical engineering.” —Richard Gibbon O.B.E. C.Eng F.I.Mech.E former Head of Engineering, National Railway Museum
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.
