Synopsis
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The book does not in any way treat of the proportioning and the strength of the various machine parts. The general treatment of the subject is indicated by the various chapter headings. Thus the first five chapters relate to definitions and theoretical considerations, the subjects being as follows: CHAPTER I. DEFINITIONS AND CLASSIFICATION. CHAPTER II. THERMODYNAMIC PRINCIPLES. CHAPTER III. THEORETICAL DISCUSSION OF VARIOUS CYCLES. CHAPTER IV. THEORETICAL CYCLES MODIFIED BY PRACTICE. CHAPTER V. THE TEMPERATURE-ENTROPY DIAGRAM. In the discussion on theoretical cycles inC hapter III, very little reference has been made to cycles not in actual use. The cycles are considered principally with reference to their practical application and any danger of confusing the mind of the student by a multiplicity of theoretical cycles of no practical value is avoided. The main idea of Chapter IV is to show how the lines of the real cycles differ from those of the theoretical cycles laid down in the previous chapter, and to discuss briefly the reasons for such difference. The five chapters following, VI to Xinclusive, take up the phenomena of combustion, the various gas-engine fuels, and the formation and properties of the fuel mixture. Thus, Chapter VI treats of combustion in general and discusses the most important properties of the gases usually found in gas-engine practice.
