Présentation de l'éditeur
In preparing this set of textbooks, which replaces those formerly sent to students of ourS tationary Engineering Course under title ofT he Elements of Steam Engineering, we have aimed to produce a practical treatise on the care, operation, and management of all kinds of steam plants, with the result that these volumes form the most thorough, practical, and comprehensive treatise on the subject that has yet been published. While these textbooks contain much that is of direct value to the designer, they have been prepared more particularly to meet the wants of those engaged in actual work in steam plants and of those desiring to prepare themselves to pass examinations for license. The subject of steam boilers and the various appliances found in boiler rooms has been very thoroughly covered. Enough of the theory has been given to enable the fireman or engineer to surmount the usual difficulties encountered and to select boilers and appliances best suited to particular conditions; the best modern practice of installing, managing, and testing boiler plants is also given. Steam engines and their appliances, and condensers, are treated in the same thorough manner as steam boilers.
