Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanical Engineering of Power Plants This book has been undertaken with two distinct objects in view, and according to a principle suggested by these objects. The first and primary intention is to provide a book to serve as a textbook in class-room work in a University which makes the education of engineers a part of its duty. This object has given the book its form and has determined its arrangement. It must have been observed by every instructor that the most enthusiastic class of students who follow engineering in the schools are those who have had a previous experience in the shop or in the power house which has made them familiar with the conditions which there prevail, and has brought to their attention questions for which they have sought to find answers. It is the wish of its projector that. So far as that condition can be met by any book whatever, this book should put all students of engineering somewhat upon the footing of these fortunate persons. It must therefore present the machinery and appliances of the power house before the reader's mind from the practical or experimental side, and make him familiar with the power plant in its various forms, and seek to familiarize him with the solutions which experi ence and good judgment have proposed for problems of this sort.

Download or read book Steam Power Plants written by Henry C. Meyer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plants: Their Design and Construction Frequently engineers and others in charge of a manufacturing business, be it a mill, factory or electric generating station, are called upon to design and purchase a steam power plant or parts of it when their knowledge of the machinery that goes into such a plant is more or less limited, and without being able to obtain the benefit of the advice of a competent consulting engineer. It is hoped that this book will be of special value to this class and of some value to all interested in steam power-plant construction. Part of the text appeared in a series of articles in The Engineering Record, and when the demand for them seemed to warrant their being published in book form they were thoroughly revised and considerable new matter added. A number of the illustrations have been selected from articles printed in The Engineering Record during the last two or three years descriptive of steam power-plant construction. They are reprinted without the text that accompanied them, thinking they would be suggestive. Shortly after this book was written in 1902, the author began to practice as a consulting engineer for power-plant design and construction, and, upon revising the work for the edition appearing in 1912, the experience gained has led to some changes and many additions. The chapter on turbines has been added, also much new matter upon the subject of steam piping, condensers, and chimneys. Other parts of the book have been added to and brought up-to-date and a number of new illustrations are presented.

This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 958 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plant Engineering Such a plant has three essential elements: (1) The furnace, (2) the boiler, and (3) the engine. Fuel is fed into the furnace, here it is burned. A portion of the heat liberated from the fuel by combustion is absorbed by the water in the boiler, converting it into steam under pressure. The steam being admitted to the cylinder of the engine does work upon the piston and is then exhausted through a suitable pipe to the atmosphere. The process is a continuous one, fuel and water being fed into the furnace and the boiler in proportion to the power demanded.

This book was released on 2018-03-03 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Electric Power Stations The production, transmission and distribution of electrical energy on a large scale in an adequate and economical manner is an engineering task of the first magnitude. Each system has its specific details and problems the solutions of which depend largely upon local conditions, but there are certain fundamental engineering and economic principles that apply to all systems. Different men may have charge of the several activities of a power organization, depending upon the size of the system, but the executive head of the utility must be a man with funda mental knowledge of all the engineering and economic aspects of the operations in order that he may make decisions intelligently.' In the power plant, engineers must deal with problems of design and construction of buildings, the installation and opera tion of machines and equipment, the records of operation and the internal organization and Operation of the plant for efficiently utilizing every dollar invested. The transmission of the energy involves a whole mass of engineering work in construction, Operation and organization. And in the distribution and sale of the energy a still more com plex engineering and economic problem is encountered. Beyond all these elements lies the realm of human relationships and the obligations inherent in public utility operations.

This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Turbine Practice and Water-Power Plants Two years ago the writer published in Engineering News some articles on modern turbine practice, and the encouragement given by progressive engineers led him to rewrite these articles, to make large additions, and to include new subject-matter, which together form the contents of this volume. The object of this book is to give such information in regard to modern turbines and their proper installation as is necessary to the hydraulic engineer in designing a water-power plant, and no attempt has been made to treat on the design of turbines, as to do this satisfactorily would require in itself a very large volume. The writer has designed turbines both in America and in Europe, and has been connected in engineering capacities with water power developments aggregating nearly h.p., having been in charge of the hydraulic work during the planning and construction of some of the most important developments in Canada. The writer therefore had an excellent Opportunity to study the subject from the point of View of both the turbine builder and the turbine user and thus became convinced of the necessity of thorough changes and improvements in the American turbine practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1916 edition. Excerpt: ... The recent development of Detroit as a factory city is responsible in a measure for the unusual increase of commercial load, and the resulting influx of factory employees has developed the residence service in the newer sections. Fig. 188 records the increase in total kilowatt-hours' output, total commercial kilowatts connected, number of meters, and the total horsepower of motors, both direct-current and alternating-current, for the years 1903 to Nov. 1, 1911. In addition to its own lighting and commercial load, the Detroit system furnishes energy for the associated Eastern Michigan Edison Co., operating in the suburban district surrounding Detroit. About one-fifth of its total generated output is purchased by the Detroit city railways for operating cars in all outlying sections of the city. Another unusual traction load taken over by the central-station company within the year is the operation of the Detroit River tunnel of the Michigan Central Railroad. The tunnel substation takes its energy supply through a 500-kw. motor-generator set, being arranged with a storage battery so that the peaks of demand of train acceleration are not felt by the central-station system. Figure 187 taken from Hirshfeld's paper (A.S.M.E., December, 1916) shows the continuation of growth in its relation to population, and similar curves are given in Figs. 190,191 and 192 for Melbourne, Australia. Curves of daily maximum loads show the variation of demand throughout the year and should be studied very carefully as much may be learned from them. Cost Curves at Variable Loads.--Dr. Klingenberg, in " Bau. Gr. Elek.," has shown a very convenient method for showing graphically the economy of central stations. This is possible where it is convenient to...
