Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book fortifies a comprehensive study of steam engineering for both stationary and marine engines. It chronicles the iterative development of the steam engine as exemplified by the naval marine engines of the U.S. Navy. The author presents the evolutionary improvements in weight efficiency, power output, fuel efficiency, and maximum steam pressure allowed by successive technical innovations during the 19th century. The author extensively details the trials, tribulations, and achievements of the experimental steam engines built by B. F. Isherwood, the book's author, while serving as Chief Engineer of the United States Navy's Steam Engineering Department. Through this perspective, the book provides a unique insight into the theoretical underpinnings, engineering realities, and obstacles prevalent during the development of steam engines within the United States' industrial revolution.
