Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of thermodynamics, exploring the potential of various vapors as working fluids in heat engines. It challenges the dominance of steam power, which was, at the time of writing, the ubiquitous choice for external combustion engines. The author meticulously examines the efficiency and practicality of alternative vapors such as alcohol, chloroform, acetone, carbon bisulphide, and carbon chloride. Through detailed analysis of thermodynamic cycles and insightful comparisons, the book unveils the unique characteristics and potential benefits of each vapor. Central to the exploration is the concept of efficiency, with the author dissecting the factors influencing it, including temperature ranges, pressure limitations, and the properties of the working fluids themselves. The book delves into the theoretical underpinnings of heat engine operation, utilizing tools such as the Clausius and Rankine cycles to evaluate the performance of different vapors. Commercial considerations such as boiler capacity, cooling water requirements, and cylinder size are also thoughtfully addressed, providing a holistic perspective on the viability of alternative vapor engines. Ultimately, this book challenges the preconceived notions of the time and paves the way for a deeper understanding of the potential of diverse working fluids in the realm of power generation. It offers a compelling argument for exploring beyond the conventional, demonstrating that innovation and efficiency can be found in the most unexpected places. 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 9781331952107_0
