Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an exhaustive treatise on steam engines, delves into their construction, operation, and historical evolution. Going beyond the fundamental theory, the author offers an extensive analysis of various valve-control mechanisms, including the ordinary slide-valve, link-motions, and specialized valve gears such as those developed by Hackworth and Bremme. The effects of these mechanisms on the distribution of steam in the engine cylinder are meticulously expounded, providing valuable insights for engineers seeking to optimize steam engine performance. These valve gears are described in detail through diagrams and numerical examples, enabling readers to understand their intricacies and their impact on the timing of steam admission, cutoff, release, and compression. The historical development of these valve gears from their early forms to their use in modern engines is also explored. This book is an invaluable resource for engineers and enthusiasts alike, offering profound insights into the design principles and operational characteristics of steam engines.
