Synopsis

This book delves into the fascinating realm of thermodynamics, exploring the fundamental principles governing the operation of heat engines and other energy-transforming machines. Written with clarity and a focus on physical understanding rather than complex mathematics, it serves as an invaluable resource for students and engineers seeking to grasp the intricacies of energy conversion. Emerging from the scientific advancements of the 19th century, this book offers a comprehensive treatment of thermodynamic concepts, encompassing the behavior of gases and vapors, thermodynamic cycles, and the design and analysis of steam engines, turbines, and internal combustion engines. It delves into topics such as combustion, boiler operation, refrigeration, and heating and ventilation systems, providing a holistic understanding of the diverse applications of thermodynamics in engineering. The author's approach emphasizes logical reasoning and practical applications, making complex ideas accessible to readers with varying levels of technical expertise. By avoiding unnecessary abstractions and focusing on real-world examples, the book effectively bridges the gap between theoretical principles and their engineering implementations. Ultimately, this book empowers readers with the knowledge and tools to understand, design, and optimize thermodynamic systems, contributing to the advancement of efficient and sustainable energy technologies that shape our modern world.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
