Steam Turbines (Classic Reprint): Their Development, Styles of Build, Construction and Uses: Their Development, Styles of Build, Construction and Uses (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Steam Turbines offers a clear, practical look at the steam turbine revolution in early power engineering. This classic reference explains how turbines differ from older steam engines and why they became commercially important, with accessible explanations for readers seeking both history and technical grounding.
The book organizes the subject around two main families of turbines—pressure turbines and velocity turbines—and then explores combinations, governors, reversing gear, and accessories. It ties historical notes to how designs evolved, and it highlights how turbine work supports dynamos, ships, land vehicles, and other power systems. Rich illustrations help readers grasp operating principles and key components.
- Learn how steam turbines are classified and how different systems work
- Understand governing devices, regulating methods, and the role of exhaust and condensation
- See practical discussions of bearings, packing, and means to reduce revolutions and losses
- Get an overview of turbine applications for land and sea propulsion, and for electric power
Ideal for readers of technical history and engineers seeking a solid, readable overview of early turbine technology and its applications.
