Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fundamental principles underlying the operation of steam engines, examining the intricate relationship between heat and work. The author begins by establishing the connection between pressure and temperature in steam, referencing the groundbreaking experiments of Regnault. These experiments provided crucial data for understanding the elastic force of steam at various temperatures. The book also explores the concepts of total and latent heat of evaporation, which are essential for quantifying the energy required to transform water into steam. The author presents a comprehensive analysis of the density of steam, drawing on both experimental and theoretical methods. Notably, the book discusses the phenomenon of partial evaporation and superheating, highlighting the importance of considering steam conditions beyond the dry and saturated state. Overall, this book provides a thorough investigation of the physical properties of steam, offering valuable insights into the thermodynamics of steam engines.
