Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from With E of the First Gas In a short time, also, English chemists connived to retaliate with gas. The Royal Engineers took up the work; and because of better prevailing wind conditions, actually outdid the Germans in cloud attacks. Then a new phase of the game appeared - shell gas fired by the artillery. No longer did the Germans have to wait for proper winds, nor fool with cumbersome cylinders in the trenches. With gas stored conveniently miles behind the lines, they could now gas any particular spot behind the Allied lines. Blue, green, and yellow cross shell be came the dread of working parties and motor lorries hitherto safe from gas. But not for long. The game of checkers proceeded. English and French artillery busied themselves, and by 1918 actually were throwing back three gas shells for every one that came over. The English did the Germans one better still. They invented the Levins projectors, by which thousands of shells could be shot simultaneously, producing such a high contraction over so large an area, that the results were terrible and irresistable. They brought out the use of the Stokes trench mortar for cleaning out 'ma chine gun nests with gas and liquid fire The Germans, of course, Copied these methods, but were not nearly as successful in putting them into operation.

Book excerpt: In this car culture of ours, what could be more American than the gas station, from the roadside pit stop in the middle of nowhere to the spit-and-polish, full service city shop? This brightly illustrated history of service stations runs the gamut from East to West, North to South, spotlighting the culture and lore of the gas-pumping garage that has kept the United States moving for a century. Whether it's the last-chance Texaco or the Sinclair dinosaur winking in the distance, the beckoning Shell, or the winged Mobil horse, it's here in all its small-town glory of compact architecture, inspired promotions, art deco pumps, and endless views of the American horizon. Author Tim Russell, one of the world's foremost collectors and historians of Petroliana, rolls out the ribbon of highway that takes us to all of those way stations of Americas motoring past.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Romance of the Gas Industry The author had no intention of interposing any introductory remarks to this story, but a reading of W. Cameron Forbes' Romance of Business prompted him to prepare a list of books and booklets which reveal the Romance of Common Things. To his surprise their number grew from an original seventy-five to nearly four hundred, without counting those hastily prepared publications which expect one page of historical introduction and a few pages of extravagant statements to carry a Message to Garcia and to start the dollars rolling into the treasury.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand Book of Natural Gas The need of a Hand Book containing authoritative information on High and Low Pressure Construction in the use of Natural Gas, and providing information and suggestions of a practical nature for those engaged in field work was wholly responsible for the publication of the first edition. From the splendid reception accorded the first edition, the publisher feels that, with the additional information and data available, a carefully revised second edition is demanded. Some errors that crept into the first edition have been corrected and new tables with many pages of material hitherto unpublished broadens the scope of the work and brings it completely up to date. Included are the tables, formulae and data prepared by the late F. H. Oliphant, and which, for purposes of easy reference, are printed in connection with the subjects to which they apply. The constant aim throughout this work has been usefulness. No effort or expense has been spared to insure its data and information being accurate in every detail, and absolutely dependable. The information presented is taken from the experience of the most active and successful operators in the business, as well as from the author's own practical experience. It is only from such data that a practical guide for practical men can be built. The author and publisher make grateful acknowledgment of assistance generously given by gas men in every section of the country, and appreciatively thank every one who, by word, act or suggestion, has contributed to the betterment of this Hand Book.

Download or read book On the Definition of the Ideal Gas Classic Reprint written by Edgar Buckingham and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-13 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Definition of the Ideal Gas Suppose, now, that we imagine the cylinder of the Carnot engine to be filled with a substance of which the mechanical and thermal properties are well known; it may be possible to find from these properties the value of w/q, or E, in terms of the scale of temperature t, in which these properties are expressed. Since all reversible engines have the same efficiency, the value of E thus found will give us the value of f (t, t?) in equation (8) and so furnish a relation between t, and t2 on the one hand, and 9, and 9, on the other, through the intermediation of equation Suppose, in particular, that the cylinder of the engine is filled with a gas that follows Boyle's law so that we may use equation When we try to find the value of W/ Q, by using equation it turns out that the problem can be solved if, and only if, we assume that the heat taken in during an isothermal expansion is all converted into out side work, or, in other words, that the internal energy of the gas does not change. The very simple result is, in this case. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Producer Gas Classic Reprint written by J. Emerson Dowson and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Producer Gas In the thirty odd years which I have devoted to the subject of Producer Gas and its applications, it has been my good fortune to make many pleasing friendships here and in other countries. Like most people, I have had my disappointments and troubles, but I have been greatly encouraged and assisted by the kind consideration and co-operation with which I have met. I feel especially indebted to Professor Ayrton, because he first gave me a helping hand in the most disinterested way. In 1881 I exhibited my apparatus at the Paris Electrical Exhibition, and there and then he volunteered to give a lecture on the subject in the Salle du Congres, in order to draw attention to what was being done, and to what it might lead to. I trust that the progress since made may be considered a justification of the interest he then awakened in the subject. I am also indebted to some of the makers of gas-engines. Not unnaturally they were at first disposed to think that it would not be to their interest to work their engines with producer gas, as it was so much weaker than town gas: the reputation of the engine itself was not then fully established, and they were fearful lest by using producer gas they might add to the difficulties with which they had to contend. That was in the days of small engines, when the consumption of gas was not great, and when the cost of the gas was of minor importance. Later they realised that the future of gas-power depended largely on producer gas, and I had the advantage of their co-operation. I am fully conscious that the growing importance of producer gas demands a more exhaustive treatment than I have been able to give it in the limited time at my disposal.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gas Engineer's Pocket-Book: Comprising Tables, Notes, and Memoranda Relating to the Manufacture, Distribution, and Use of Coal Gas and the Construction of Gas Works In placing this compilation before his readers - and in particular, his brother Engineers of the Gas Industry - it may not be out of place for the Author to indicate the circumstances which have led, in the first instance, to the preparation of the Tables, Notes, and other matter comprised in the volume, and now to their issue in the present form. Having frequently during the course of his professional career experienced the want of any book containing those numerous tables, data, &c., which, with the spread of engineering knowledge, are every day becoming more and more necessary to the Gas Engineer for reference, he has for many years been in the habit of making and preserving, for his own use, full notes from every available source. These notes have formed the basis of the present work, and the fact that they were originally intended only for his own personal use has rendered it in many cases well-nigh impossible for the Author to acknowledge the sources of his information. He desires, however, to express here his indebtedness to both the Journal of Gas Lighting and the Gas World, whose full and careful reports, given from time to time, of papers read and discussions held at the various meetings of Engineering Societies, at which questions concerning the Gas Industry have been under review, have afforded him the means of obtaining a considerable portion of the matter here presented.
