The Progress of Marine Engineering, From the Time of Watt Until the Present Day (Classic Reprint) - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore the practical evolution of marine power, from early steam work to modern ship engines and boilers.
This concise history traces the major advances in marine engineering, showing how engineers improved efficiency, reliability, and power on ships. It highlights key inventions, tests, and designs that shaped steam propulsion, boiler technology, and naval and commercial vessels across decades.
- How engines, boilers, and fuels evolved to deliver more speed with less fuel.
- Innovations such as expansion engines, composite and water-tube boilers, and hot-blast methods.
- The role of naval practice in adopting new machinery and the push toward greater reliability at sea.
- Patterns of progress, testing, and standardization that guided marine engineering forward.
Ideal for readers of maritime history and engineering, this edition offers a clear, practical overview of how the ship powered the age of steam.

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.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a monumental work by Thomas Main on 150 years of the history of marine engineering. It follows the progress of marine steam engineering from the early era of James Watt through the early 20th century. During this period, steam-powered ships revolutionized world trade and navies, enabling new speeds and carrying capacities not previously possible. Main traces the evolution of marine engineering through its many stages, from the first steamship to the massive, coal-fired ocean liners that ruled the seas until the dawn of the oil-fired ship. Rich in detail and with a wealth of carefully selected illustrations, this book is a valuable resource for maritime enthusiasts seeking a detailed history of marine engineering's evolution across the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330112243_0
