Investigation of the Power Consumed in Overcoming the Inertia of Railway Trains
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exploration of the power required to overcome the inertia of railway trains, an area previously overlooked in practical terms. At the time of this book's writing, steam-powered locomotion was a relatively new technology, and its intricacies were still being understood. The author draws on his expertise as an engineer to examine the various factors that influence the acceleration and deceleration of trains, including friction, resistance from the atmosphere, and the effect of inclines. Through calculations and observations, the author demonstrates that the power required to overcome inertia can be substantial, particularly when trains are required to make frequent stops. These insights are crucial for optimizing railway operations and ensuring efficient use of locomotive power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781527871694_0
