Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stuart's Descriptive History of the Steam Engine The wonderful increase of machinery, of all kinds, that has taken place in England during the last thirty years, having been mainly produced by those improvements made on the Steam Engine which led to its general introduction as a first mover, has conferred great interest and importance on every circumstance connected with the construction and history of that magnificent mechanism. Several treatises of great merit, describing particular engines, have been long before the public; but in none of them has the general history of improvement formed any part of the plan of their authors. With the view of supplying this want, the following compilation was undertaken. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Steam Power Plant Engineering Classic Reprint written by George Frederick Gebhardt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 954 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plant Engineering This book is the outcome of a series of lectures delivered to the Senior class of the Armour Institute of Technology, Chicago, Ill. It is primarily intended as a text-book for engineering students, but, it is hoped, will also be of interest to practicing engineers. The field embraced by the title is a large one and it has been necessary to limit the treatment to essential elements. Much Of the matter contained in the author's original notes, including that relat ing to steam engine design, valve gears, steam boiler design, and the like, has therefore been omitted. The numerous references appear ing throughout the text and the appended bibliographies, which have been carefully compiled, are depended upon to extend the scope of the work. The standard codes of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for conducting engine and boiler trials are in frequent demand by engineers and have therefore been included as an appendix. Authorities have been freely consulted and extensive use made of current engineering literature, due acknowledgment being made by footnote or reference whenever possible. The matter included is representative of American practice and no effort has been made to include any other except in a few special cases. The author wishes to express his Obligations to Prof. Raymond Burnham for many valuable suggestions and corrections, and to Mrs. Julia Beveridge, librarian at Armour Institute, for assistance in compiling references.

It does not pretend to be a complete account of the state of industry in the eighteenth century, but only deals in detail with such trades as were intimately connected with the steam-engine, and such as early adopted it as a power unit.

Download or read book The Steam Engine Classic Reprint written by Thomas O. Summers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Steam Engine The properties of this vapor and their applicability to the wants of social life were discovered, will form one of the main subjects of this volume. There is no experiment in the whole range of science which would create more curious wonder than the boiling of water and the production of steam, if it were but novel. That water should be put into a. Close vessel as a heavy fluid, obe dient, like all other solids and liquids, to the law of gravitation, and that after a short period of exposure to heat it should burst out as an elastic, bounding vapor, rising and spreading instead of falling, is a phenomenon quite as surprising as the formation of a solid by the mixture of two liquids, or any other marvel of modern chemistry. But it is generally viewed without interest, be cause it is daily seen, and what little is known about its properties is commonly learned from household tradition, rather than from thought or investigation. Few, however, are so ignorant as not to know that when water has been made hot enough to boil, the heat it continues to receive is employed in converting it into steam, and that this steam has a. Great expansive power. Now it is this property of expansion which gives steam its mechanical force. The same principle which, on a small scale, causes the cover of the tea kettle to rise, will, when steam is generated in larger vessels, and allowed to gather force by accumulation, lift up the most ponderous weights. To the force of this vapor, indeed, there is no limit but the magnitude and strength of the boil ers in which it is generated. If steam, however.

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 engineer ing 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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
