A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Tables of the Properties of Steam were calculated twenty years ago to accompany the authors Thermodynamics of theS team Engine; since that time important experimental investigations have been made by Callendar, Barnes, Knoblauch and Thomas. The tables have been recomputed, introducing this information and with certain changes which will be found to facilitate their use. All the tables for saturated steam have colunms of entropy due to vaporization; and the table in metric units has been made into a conversion table by aid of which properties can be found in either metric orE nglish units or a combination of the two systems may be used. The development of the steam-turbine has given prominence to adiabatic computations for steam and has emphasized the facts that the usual methods are tedious and cannot be worked inversely. To meet this diflB culty various diagrams have been devised, all of which have certain inconveniences; if they have a convenient scale, they are so large as to be awkward to carry or to use; all have important problems represented by curves which render interpolation troublesome. To facilitate the solution of all adiabatic problems (and many others) aT emperature-E ntropy Table has been constructed for saturated and superheated steam. For engineering purposes the answers for such problems may be read directly from the table; greater refinement can be had by interpolation when that is thought desirable. That part of the table which refers to saturated steam may be relied upon to give the nearest unit in the last place of significant figures; the degree of accuracy to be attributed to the several properties of saturated steam can be determined from the statements of experimental data and derivation of formulae given in the I ntroduction. The properties of superheated steam are given with as much accuracy as conditions warrant. This part o
