Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book gives a unique glimpse into advancements in the design of the steam locomotive, a piece of transport technology that would come to dominate the 19th century. The author provides historical context and chronicles the key developments that shaped the evolution of the steam locomotive. The book examines the challenges faced by engineers in terms of the weight of trains and the power required to pull them. It explores the concept of train resistance and how it affected the design of the locomotive and the infrastructure it worked on. Other topics include the use of different materials in construction, such as steel and copper, and the pros and cons of each. The book also covers the role of steam pressure in the efficiency of the locomotive. There's a fascinating discussion on the development of boilers, with diagrams of fire boxes, tubes, and grates, and how these innovations increased the power and efficiency of the steam engine. The book provides a comprehensive overview of late 19th- and early 20th-century locomotive engineering and will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of transport.
