Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Boilers and Combustion Unfortunately most of the books published are highly technical works dealing with what has been done and not with the possibilities of future development. This Spells a great danger to initiative - which is discounted to a great extent - by placing too much reliance on the past rather than encouraging a determined attack on future possibilities. A learned professor has gone farther than most in this direction when he asserted that engineers and boiler experts had been fostering wrong ideas in Spite of the fact that extended practice qualified present laws. His declaration that the theories accepted, and their laws, were utterly wrong, is a deduction from what his own experiments revealed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Boilers: Their Management and Working on Land and Sea As nearly all the, writers on this subject have been non-practical, therefore, notwithstanding their scientific attainments, reasonings, and data being ever so scientifically correct as a whole, their writings are void of many important details and important practical facts; and being couched in abstruse and technical language, are unintelligible to the mass of persons in charge of steam boilers, and uninteresting to others, who fail to find in them the particular counsel they desire. Under such circumstances it is obvious that much conflict of opinion and conflict of practice will exist amongst those in charge of steam boilers, and even among practical men, regarding the subject. Any effort, therefore, to treat the subject in a thoroughly simple yet practical manner, in the language of the engine-room, the workshop and the factory, will be welcomed by those having a bona-fide interest in the management and running of steam boilers.

Download or read book The Design of Steam Boilers and Pressure Vessels Classic Reprint written by George B. Haven and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-27 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Design of Steam Boilers and Pressure Vessels The design of machinery is sometimes defined as the science of reasonable approximation. Comparatively few of the methods necessary in fixing the proportions of machine parts fall under the established formulae of Physics or Applied Mechanics. It is only by a skilful adaptation of theoretical deductions to practical requirements that the science of Machine Design may claim a right to legitimate and useful existence. With the hope of harmonizing still further the rational methods of both theory and practice, the authors of this volume have sought to incorporate in its pages the most direct procedure possible in the design of pressure apparatus. As a basis for the broader study of Machine Design it is believed that problems of this character possess peculiar advantages. The definiteness of the loads in pressure vessels and the reliability of the materials usually employed in their construction are incentives to intelligent and accurate calculation. Wherever possible, results have been obtained by rational rather than empirical methods. The usages of current boiler-making practice have been kept constantly in view. Numerous assumptions have necessarily been made but in every case it is believed a conservative reason has been given as their basis. The last five chapters serve to illustrate the application of the principles and formulae previously deduced to the practical design of various types of boilers and pressure vessels. It is hoped that the definite program followed in these problems may be of value not alone to students but to the boiler-making profession as well. The data and constants assumed are derived from actual practice and represent wide margins of safety in regard to boiler performance and construction. The design of water tube boilers is largely the result of ripe experience and well established precedent. Aside from a few features in connection with the steam drum, their proportions can rarely be determined by calculation. Hence it has not been considered wise to include in this work the specific design of a boiler of this class.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Steam-Boilers: Their Strength, Construction, and Construction, Economical Working As anything like a complete history of boiler progress is beyond the scope of such a small work as this, only a slight sketch of the salient points has been attempted in the first chapter. A complete history, accompanied by remarks pointing out the defects that have led to the disuse of many inventions connected with boiler work, would be of real service to many, for, judging by the frequency of the repetition of Old defects, it would appear to be even more important to know what to avoid than what to adopt in designing new boilers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Steam-Boilers: Their Design, Construction, and Operation; For Technical Schools and Engineers The following treatise on the steam boiler, its design, construction, and operation, is the outcome of an attempt to meet a demand which has been repeatedly made for a fairly complete, systematic, and scientific, yet "practical," manual. It has been intended to work to a plan that should be sufficiently comprehensive to meet the wants of the engineer in his office, and yet so rigidly systematic as to be suitable for use as a text-book in schools of engineering. It has been the endeavor to incorporate the elements of the subject just so far as they are needed in preparing the way for the work of the designer, the builder, and the manager of steam-boilers; while also amply complete and logical to permit the use of the book in the instruction of the student in applied science. It was not expected that it would be found practicable to make a manual of this kind absolutely complete as a workshop treatise to be used by the boiler-maker - a trade manual; but it was hoped that it might, within these limits, be made fairly satisfactory to the engineer engaged in designing. The plan of the work is as follows: Beginning with an historical and descriptive introduction, in which are traced the various developments of the apparatus used by the engineers of the time of Watt and earlier, and by his successors, and the progress made since his time to date, the existing standard forms of boiler are described and classified, and their special adaptations indicated.
