A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The progress of technical education in this country during the last few years has rendered necessary the production of an elementary text book on theS team Engine, containing information upon branches of the subject which have hitherto received but scant notice in works of this nature. I have endeavoured, as far as the limits of space in this small volume permitted, to make good these deficiencies, which were for the most part brought under my notice by engineering students. There are four important points in which I venture to hope this book will be found to contain information, put in a form suitable for beginners, which has hitherto only been accessible in works of a more advanced character or in those which only profess to treat special branches of the subject. They are as follows :1. The modern science of thermodynamics, which is the foundation of all knowledge of the steam engine considered as an apparatus for converting heat into mechanical work. 2. The very important effects exercised on the motion of quick running engines by the inertia of their reciprocating parts.
