About this Item

Print on Demand. This book explores the principles of steam engines, focusing on those using steam expansively both through condensation and non-condensation. It examines the relationship between elasticity and density of steam, and how their properties govern the functions of steam engines. The author illustrates concepts extensively, providing practical rules, formulas, equations, and diagrams for easy understanding. In the history of thermodynamics, the book's focus on steam engines, the main power source of the Industrial Revolution, is significant. It encompasses the evolution of steam engine technology and theory, covering topics from the behavior of gases to the flow of steam through various orifices. The author's mathematical approach and clear prose provide a comprehensive understanding of the physics behind steam engines. By examining the interplay between pressure, volume, and temperature, the book offers insights into the theoretical underpinnings of steam engine performance, demonstrating the relationship between expansive steam engine efficiency and its operation parameters. This detailed analysis and practical guidance make this book a valuable resource for engineers and anyone interested in the history and principles of steam engines. 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. Seller Inventory # 9780282671846_0
