Synopsis

Master the practical physics of steam and heat engines Learn how to analyze real-world thermodynamics with clear, applicable methods. This edition emphasizes practical tools you can use on the job, from sketches of adiabatic processes to step-by-step problem solving.

This book guides engineers and students through core ideas in a steady, example-driven style. You’ll find approachable explanations of steam properties, entropy diagrams, and the Mollier chart, plus methods to compute heat, work, and volume for saturated and superheated vapor. The coverage stays focused on usable techniques for design, analysis, and testing of steam systems and related equipment.

• How to read and apply entropy and Mollier diagrams for steam problems


• Calculations of latent heat, specific heats, and adiabatic work


• Techniques for predicting state changes in dry, wet, and superheated steam


• Practical approaches to composing and solving real engineering problems

Ideal for readers of engineering thermodynamics, steam engineering, and applied heat transfer who want a solid, hands-on reference.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

It was the first :can book in its field that had appeared in twenty years, only new in time, it was new in plan. The present edition, esents a third printing, thus demands careful revision, vision has been comprehensive and has unfortunately increased the size of the book a defect which further however, permit to be overcome. Such errors in statement iphy as have been discovered have been eliminated, methods of presentation have been adopted wherever i was possible. Answers to many of the numerical probnow been incorporated, and additional problems set. led treatment has been given the kinetic theory of gases wof gases; and results of recent studies of the properties ,ave been discussed. There will be found a brief study of ,por mixtures, undertaken with special reference to the uses in heat engines. The gas engine cycle has been subjected ysis which takes account of the varying specific heats ofT he section on pressure turbines has been rewritten, as he whole of Chapter XV, on results of engine tests the ran entirely new plan. A new method of design of comjines has been introduced. Some developments from the 2; practice of the past three years are discussed such as mdenser constants; Clayton sstudies of cylinder action ilication to the Hirn analysis and the entropy diagram), phrey internal combustion pump, theS tumpf uniflow dvarious gas-engine cycles. The section on absorption frefrigeration has been extended to include the method inga heat balance. Brief additional sections on applicale laws of gases to ordnance and to balloon construction fcted. A table of symbols have been prefixed to the text.

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.
