Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economy Factor in Steam-Power Plants So far as is known, there is not another single volume comprehensively treating this subject, which in view of its interest and importance is a matter of much wonder. The data used in compiling this treatise has been carefully selected from the results of actual experiments, all mere reports and unauthentic results being absolutely discarded. It is believed, therefore, to represent the only authentic collection of data upon the eco nomic performance of the various power plant constituents. The principal use to which the method for solving for power plant economy described hereinafter may be put, consists in predetermining the results to be derived from various classes of power plants under differ ent conditions. These results may be used by engineering contractors in determining proper values for economy guarantees, by the consulting engineer in comparing the relative merits of various types of proposed installations, by the student in a study of power plant economics, and for various other purposes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Economy in Steam and Other Thermal Power-Plants: As Dependent Upon Physical Efficiency, Capital Charges and Working Costs This book would be ineffective without the Diagrams and Tables which illustrate it. The Author wishes therefore to gratefully acknowledge his great indebtedness to Mr. H. M. Hodson and to the Publishers for a finer collection of diagrams than has ever before been brought together to elucidate the practical science of Heat Power-Production. Nearly all of these drawings have been made by Mr. Hodson, who has also made a large proportion of the numerical calculations involved in the Tables. All the numerous charts of Costs in Chapter III represent actual ascertained recent costs in Britain. The physical diagrams of Chapter II are mostly reproductions of large-scale drawings used for many years by the author's students and found of great practical utility. These Diagrams and Tables are not mere examples of the laws explained in the text: in most cases they are essentially the full graphical and numerical exhibition of all the practical results of these laws. The Author has long been convinced that engineering science ought not, in the face of difficulties due to the inherent and unavoidable complexity of practical business problems, to take refuge in erroneous approximations whose one only merit is simplicity; but ought, on the contrary, to eliminate difficulty by plotting on accurate squared paper the results of all complex calculations. Those who wish to calculate results to one-tenth of one percent, minuteness will not be satisfied with diagram readings.

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 2016-10-08 with total page 938 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plant Engineering 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Fuel Oil and Steam Engineering: A Practical Treatise Dealing With Fuel Oil, for the Central Station Man, the Power Plant Operator, the Mechanical Engineer and the Student The rapidity with which the first edition of this book was exhausted has exceeded the fondest expectations of its writers. The field of fuel oil in its uses in steam electric generation, though an important one, is somewhat narrow in the number of people involved in its study. The early exhaustion of the first edition, however, has given the authors an opportunity to re-write the book and to add many new and interesting advances that have been made during the three year period since the first edition appeared upon the market. We are particularly grateful to Prof. L. S. Marks of Harvard University, to Prof. W. F. Durand of Stanford University; Mr. C. R. Weymouth, chief engineer of Charles C. Moore & Co.; Messrs. R. J. C. Wood and H. L. Doolittle of the Southern California Edison Company; Mr. E. A. Rogers, chief engineer of steam electric generation for the New Cornelia Copper Co.; Mr. E. H. Peabody, consulting engineer; Prof. E. H. Lockwood of Yale; Dr. D. S. Jacobus, advisory engineer of the Babcock and Wilcox Company; and Mr. J. E. Woodbridge of Ford, Bacon and Davis, for valuable information, helpful suggestions, and a kindly and encouraging attitude for further efforts in the compilation of this work. Many of the newer portions of this work have first appeared in print either in the columns of the Electrical World or the Journal of Electricity, and to these two publications we are grateful for the interest and kindly suggestions they have given to us.
