Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book illustrates the principles of the Woolf compound engine using 2-cylinder operation, where the pistons move simultaneously or co-initially and co-terminally, with the option of a receiver, clearance, cushion, and varying parameters. The author utilizes analytical and graphical methods, introducing a method for proportioning cylinder volumes for an even distribution of work between the two cylinders. Starting with simple expansions, the author explores the calculations for determining mean pressure and provides a table of hyperbolic logarithms for ease of calculation. Comparisons are made between single-cylinder and compound engines, highlighting the advantages of the latter for efficiency and power. The author presents various diagrams to illustrate the steam action in the engine, including the impact of receiver volume and cut-off points. The book concludes with a detailed analysis of a compound engine with a cut-off to each cylinder, a receiver, and clearance and cushion. The author guides the reader through the process of tracing the theoretical diagrams for each cylinder, explaining the impact of different parameters on the distribution of work and the overall efficiency of the engine. The insights presented in this book offer valuable guidance for engineers and designers working on compound engines, providing a comprehensive understanding of the principles and considerations involved in their design and operation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
