This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Steam Engine In the sixth and seventh chapters, the various parts of the modern steam engine are considered separately, preparatory to the consideration of them in their com bined condition, and in their relations to each other, in subsequent chapters. Some preliminary remarks are made on the laws of combustion, on the effect of fuel in producing steam, and on the modes of measuring the pressure, or tension, of steam. These chapters are then devoted to the consideration of the construction and pro portion of the several parts of the steam engine, as of the safety apparatus; of the boilers, with the precautions necessary for their safety and effect; of self-regulating furnaces; of cylinders and pistons; of valves, with refer ence to their form and mode of action; of the mechanism by which the valves are worked; and of the apparatus for indicating the pressure of the steam in the boiler.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of the Steam-Engine, Vol. 2: Design, Construction, and Operation; For Engineers and Technical Schools (Advanced Courses) In the discussions of the effects of inertia, as exhibited in the action of the fly-wheel and of the reciprocating parts, the graphical methods have been preferred, where choice was permitted, for the reasons already given. The algebraic equa tions give isolated values of the quantity sought, also; while the curves obtained, in many cases, by graphical construction, are a visible history of the continuous variations of condition and result throughout the cycle, or the period studied. The physical concept is thus vastly more easily and satisfactorily obtained, and a correspondingly better understanding of the case is reached. The chapters on the construction and erection, and on the operation and care, of the engine are necessarily very concise.

This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of the Steam-Engine Indicator The steam-engine indicator is an instrument in vented by Watt to measure and record the pressure Of the steam in the cylinder Of an engine. The dia grams drawn by an indicator enable us to calculate the power Of the engine, to examine and adjust the actions Of the engine va'ves, and to make certain in ferences concerning the transformation of heat into work and the influence Of the metal Of the cylinder on that Operation. Too much emphasis cannot be given to the fact that the sole Office Of the indicator is to measure and record pressure; actions which are commonly said to be revealed by the indicator are really inferences based on the pressure or on changes Of pressure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Manual of the Steam Engine: Containing Also a Chapter on the Theory, Construction and Operation of Internal Combustion Engines for the Operating Engineer The author has for some years been engaged as an instructor in engineering. He has enjoyed intimate acquaintance with students and with young men engaged in the actual Operation of steam plants. Many students of steam engineering, while they may have had excel lent training in mathematics and general science, are yet so immature that they do not readily make practical application of their general knowledge; and the aver age Operating man, despite his experience, realizes his lack of adequate grasp of fundamental principles a lack which hampers his advancement. To help both classes of men, teaching them to think and to reason, they must be taught the subject in a manner which may supplement their present partial knowledge.

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 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.
