Synopsis
Explore how compressed air changed industrial power. This classic treatise explains how air can transmit and store energy, with clear guidance for engineers and curious readers alike.
Starting from fundamental thermodynamics, the book outlines principles, practical formulas, and the theory behind compression, transmission, and expansive work. It highlights why compressed air remains available where other power sources fail, especially for underground work and long-distance transmission, and it discusses efficiency, moisture, expansion, and real-world practice.
- Foundational concepts of air as a power medium and the math behind compression and expansion
- How pressure loss, pipe design, and height differences affect performance
- Theory and practical data on complete expansive and full‑pressure working
- Applications in mining, tunneling, and large-scale energy distribution
Ideal for readers of historical engineering texts, or anyone seeking a grounded look at early methods for transmitting power with compressed air.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed examination of compressed air, its applications, and the machinery used for compressing and transmitting it. The author's thorough examination of the principles and formulas for the action of compressed air provide engineers and students with a comprehensive resource for understanding the subject. It begins with historical context and details the evolution of compressed air technology, covering the work of pioneers such as Cubitt and Brunell, and the important theoretical contributions of Collodon and Sommeiller. The book provides a deep dive into the physics of compressed air, including its properties, the laws governing its behavior, and its thermodynamic principles. It also offers practical insights into the design and operation of compressors and compressed air engines, addressing the challenges and inefficiencies associated with their use. The author emphasizes the importance of cooling during compression to minimize energy loss and improve efficiency. He also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of working at full pressure versus utilizing expansion, and explores methods for reheating the working air to prevent the formation of ice. This comprehensive treatment of compressed air makes this book an invaluable resource for engineers, researchers, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of this essential technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
