Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book compiles decades of unwritten engineering wisdom into a guide of principles, rules, and maxims for engineers to use in the construction, control, and management of steam boilers and accompanying appliances. Describing the theory and practical operation of steam pumps, steam heating, and plumbing, the author imparts best practices and advice for working with steam generators. The book offers insights into the composition of coal, wood, peat, and other fuels, including their steam-producing capabilities, and includes a table comparing the heating power of various fuel types. The author shares methods for maximizing heat production from different types of fuel, and explains how to handle air in the right mixtures and proportions to achieve the same goal. The book also includes special instructions for firing various types of fuel, including coke, shavings, sawdust, tan bark, oil, and straw, and offers specific guidance on firing a locomotive. The rules of conduct described in this book represent the distilled knowledge of generations of engineers, and the author presents them as undisputed truths for engineers and firemen of all skill levels.
