Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to the principles behind steam, steam engines, and boilers. It draws upon the authorââ â¢s lectures to an evening class of young mechanical engineers, offering a clear and accessible explanation of these fundamental technologies. Written in 1889, the book reflects the state of engineering science at that time, delving into topics like heat transfer, combustion, and the efficiency of steam engines. The author provides a nuanced explanation of how heat is transformed into work, examining the concepts of latent heat and the efficiency of steam in its different forms. He also explores the historical context of steam engines, from the early atmospheric engines of Savery and Newcomen to the more advanced compound engines that were gaining popularity in the late 19th century. The bookââ â¢s focus on the economical use of steam and its clear diagrams make it a valuable resource for both students and practicing engineers, offering insights into the scientific principles that govern these powerful machines.
