Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book revolutionizes how steam engines are understood and used, particularly in the context of locomotives. The author argues that prior methods to calculate steam engine efficiency are inaccurate, that they cannot determine an engine's load-bearing capacity at different speeds, and that they fail to fully account for steam pressure and load on the piston at any given moment. By providing new formulas to calculate engine efficiency, the author presents a more precise understanding of how an engine's vaporization, velocity, load, and useful effect interact. This book presents a new theory of steam engine power and efficiency that will be of great value to engineers, inventors, and anyone interested in the history of steam power. 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 9781330154083_0
