Product Information

Excerpt from Modern Steam Engineering in Theory and Practice: A New, Complete It has been the aim of the author in the production of this work to fully meet the wants of the student and engineer all the practical requirements for obtaining a mastery in the application and use of steam for power and other purposes in the full range of its usefulness. A further object has been to bring the mathematical side of Steam-Engineering into such practical conditions that the engineer or student may be able to grasp the whole subject with only ordinary arithmetical acquirements by means of the figured repetition of the formulas. In the forty-two tables included will be found a ready reference, covering all conditions of the properties of steam and its application for the production of power, ratios, engine parts and proportions, most useful in the service w devolved upon the duties of a successful engineer. Owing to the wide experience of the author, who well kws the points a book like this must cover to be of greatest service to the men for whom it is written, ho has treated at length the subject of Superheated Steam and the practical operation of the Plain Slide-and Piston-Valves and their gear, the Corliss Valves and valve gear, also the Triple- and Quadruple-Expnnsion Engine and the work of the Indicator, as well as the Steam-Turbine, which is w coming to the front as a power-producer. The duties of an Engineer, who is entrusted with the management and use of Steam in a private or public capacity, are given, as well as chapters on Refrigeration-Plants, Elevators, and Electric-Light Plants. Questions as asked by the Examining Board are included, as well as their answers, which will prove of greatest help to those preparing for and desiring to procure a License as a Steam-Engineer. Much time has been spent and great care taken in the preparation of this work, and the author trusts that it will many times over compensate the reader for its perusal.
