Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a method for determining the proportions and dimensions of the slide valve in a steam engine. It demonstrates how to calculate the valve's travel, lap, and lead, as well as the dimensions of the steam and exhaust ports. The author begins by explaining the basic principles of steam engine operation and the relationship between the piston and valve motions. Using a graphical method called the Travel Scale, the author provides a simple and rapid way to determine the valve's proportions for a given cut-off, or the point at which the steam supply to the cylinder is shut off. The book also discusses the effects of lead and inside lap on valve operation and provides practical examples to illustrate the application of the Travel Scale. By following the author's clear and concise instructions, readers can design and construct slide valves that will operate efficiently and effectively, leading to improvements in the performance and efficiency of steam engines. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
