Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plant Auxiliaries and Accessories Most of the preventable losses in the engine rooms of steam power plants occur in connection with the auxiliary equipment. Generally speaking, there is not a great deal that the operating engineer can do to increase the efficiencies of the prime movers -the turbines or engines. It is also a fact - that, as a rule, the prime movers in a plant give relatively little trouble and involve relatively little maintenance expense. Most of the trouble and maintenance expense is due to the auxiliaries. Thus, it. follows that, in a sense, the auxiliary equipment comprises the most important part of that portion of the power-plant equipment which transforms the heat in the steam into power. Hence, in this book, it has been the endeavor to give such data as will enable the operator to select, and properly install, auxiliary equipment which will insure the generation of power at the least cost. Furthermore - and quite as important. - it has been the aim to provide the information whereby this auxiliary equipment can be so operated and maintained that its preventable losses will be a minimum and that its up-keep expense will be as small as is feasible. Drawings for all of the 411 illustrations were made especially for this work. It has been the endeavor so to design and render these pictures that they will convoy the desired information with a minimum of supplementary discussion. Throughout the text, principles which are presented are explained with descriptive expositions or with worked-out arithmetical examples. At the end of each of the 13 divisions there are questions to be answered and, where justified, problems to be solved by the reader. These questions and problems arc based on the text matter in the division just preceding. If the reader can answer the questions and solve the problems, he then must be conversant with the subject matter of the division. Detail solutions to all of the problems are printed in the appendix in the back of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Steam Boilers and Boiler Accessories written by William Inchley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Boilers and Boiler Accessories: For Steam Users, Engineers, and Engineering Students IN this work an attempt has been made to produce a book of reasonable size which deals with the construction and working of Steam Boilers and their Accessories in a manner suitable for the requirements of steam users and engineering students generally. Technical details of boiler construction, such as the pitch of rivets, strength of plates, etc., are designedly omitted, since few readers will find themselves called upon to have expert knowledge on such questions, which must be left to the responsible boiler manufacturer. Only general principles of the strength of parts are here included. Chapter I. Briefly explains the various types of boilers in common use together with the materials used in their construction, after which the theory of combustion and steam generation is considered in Chapters II.-V. The method of treatment has been to avoid as far as possible the use of advanced mathematics - a difficult task when writing on the subject of Heat Transmission. In Chapter V. Prominence has been given to the effect on boiler performance of using high gas speeds, and the Author is indebted to Professor J. T. Nicolson, D.so., for much of the matter included therein. A detailed description of the various types of smoke-tube Boilers is given in Chapter VI., whilst Chapter VII. Is devoted to water-tube Boilers. In a book of this scope it has been found impossible to describe all the different types, but it is hoped that the majority of those boilers which have proved satisfactory in practice have been included.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Engineering and Economic Consideration of a Low Pressure Steam Turbine Installation Only as to the prime movers alone, but as effecting the auxiliary equipment as well. These changes have all tended toward the reduction in the size of power houses for equal capacity. Now comes the low pressure turbine and no such radical changes are necessary in order to Obtain improved results. It is not necessary to discard old apparatus or to make any great changes in the Operating conditions to take advantage of the saving Offered by the use of a low pressure turbine. The low pressure turbine does require, however, that additional Space be provided. The low pressure turbine can be used in connection with the most antiquated steam engine installation and greatly improve the economy Of the station. The low pressure turbine is therefore very attractive to central station owners as it increases the. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
