A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The chapter onS team Turbines is new, and so is the greater part of the chapter on Gas andO il Engines. In dealing with the properties of steam a departure has been made from the earlier treatment, by accepting the characteristic equation of Callendar along with the steam tables derived from it by MoU ier. The older data, based chiefly on experiments by Regnault, which were for a long time followed by engineers, involved serious inconsistencies and errors. Callendar smethod of treatment escapes inconsistencies, and gives figures which are in harmony with the most trustworthy and most recent results of experiment. The theoretical work of Callendar on this subject, notwithstanding its importance, is but little known to engineers. In Germany it has been applied by Mollier to the calculation of steam tables which, with his kind permission, are here reproduced with additions making them more suitable for use byE nglish engineers. Mollier has also enriched technical thermodynamics by the invention of novel graphic methods of representing the properties of steam and of solving steam-engine problems. He has sdlowed the author to reproduce his new steam charts, as well as the tables, and thereby to place in the hands of English students material of great interest and practical value. The Fahrenheit scale of temperature has been definitely abandoned: the Centigrade scale is used throughout.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
