A Text-Book of Engineering, Vol. 13 (Classic Reprint): For Secondary Technical Schools: For Secondary Technical Schools (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Master the essentials of steam engineering with a trusted, in-depth reference. This comprehensive guide explains the fundamentals of gases, heat, and the steam cycle, then builds toward practical topics like fuels, combustion, boiler design, and engine efficiency. Clear explanations help readers grasp how pressure, volume, and temperature interact in real-world systems.
Designed for secondary technical schools and practical training, the book blends theory with engineering practice. It covers key concepts, standard diagrams, and the reasoning behind common boiler and engine designs, making it a reliable foundation for students and professionals alike. The edition emphasizes safe, effective methods and the logic behind design choices, rather than abstract theory alone.
- Foundational gas laws and the kinetic theory that underpins heating and expansion.
- Methods for evaluating heat transfer, fuel value, and boiler efficiency.
- Design principles for shell and sectional boilers, including safety and performance trade-offs.
- Practical discussion of engine indicators, mean pressure, and stage expansion concepts.
Ideal for students entering mechanical or marine engineering, as well as practitioners seeking a solid reference on steam generation, boiler operation, and the thermodynamics of engines. It supports classroom study and on‑the‑job use alike.
