The Gas-Engine Handbook: A Manual of Useful Information for the Designer and Engineer (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gas-Engine Handbook: A Manual of Useful Information for the Designer and Engineer
It has been the endeavor, to place within the smallest possible compass a number of useful rules and hints, that may be of value not only to the designer, but also to the engineer who has the care of a gas engine. The chapter on testing has been given more attention than might perhaps have been thought necessary in a book of this size, but it also covers many points regard ing the calculation of horsepowers and other items purposely omitted from the other portions of the book. This portion of the work was founded upon the methods employed at the Cornell University.
The author has drawn, in a few instances, from other works upon the same subject. In preparing the matter on design, he has received many useful hints from the works of Mr. Frederick Grover and Mr. William Norris, the two English writers alreadyreferred to. A part of the data in the table of heat values is from a similar table in the work of Mr. Gardner D. Hiscox. The mechanical tables are from various pocket books and from the works already referred to.
