Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the intricate world of marine engineering during a pivotal era of technological advancement. It meticulously examines the principles, calculations, and design considerations that underpinned the construction and operation of steamships. The author's expertise shines through as they navigate complex topics such as horsepower calculations, engine efficiency, and the resistance and propulsion of ships. Emerging at a time when steamships were rapidly replacing sail-powered vessels, this work provides invaluable insights into the engineering challenges and solutions of the day. The transition from sail to steam was a defining moment in maritime history, and this book captures the essence of that transformation. It explores the shift from rudimentary horsepower estimations to more sophisticated formulas that considered factors like cylinder dimensions, boiler pressure, and piston speed. Beyond the technical aspects, the book delves into the theoretical underpinnings of ship design and performance. Concepts like skin friction, eddy making, and wave-making are explored, offering a comprehensive understanding of the forces that influence a vessel's movement through water. The author's analysis extends to the efficiency of steam engines, highlighting the impact of jacketing and other design features on fuel consumption and overall performance. In essence, this book serves as a testament to the ingenuity and scientific rigor that propelled the maritime industry forward. Its insights into the principles of marine engineering remain relevant, offering a glimpse into a transformative period that shaped the course of ocean travel and trade. 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.
