Excerpt from Engineering Applications of Higher Mathematics, Vol. 3
The third part of the work, now offered to the pro fession, contains problems in thermodynamics of per icot gases and saturated steam. The first part con tains problems in machine design, the second part problems in hydraulics and the remaining two parts are devoted to mechanics of materials and electrical engineering respectively. Thus in using this work a student or an engineer who wishes to review calculus or analytics, or to acquire facility in applications Of higher mathematics to engineering problems, may select at first the part of the work which deals with problems in that branch of engineering with which he is most familiar, or in which he is particularly interested.
The book as a whole is not intended to bring out anything new, either in mathematical methods or in practical deductions. The author's aim was siinply to collect and to arrange in a systematic way the va rious applications of analytic geometry and of calculus, already in use. The book may be called a summary of the most common engineering applications of higher mathematics, or a mathematical cross-index to engineer ing text-books. It fulfills its purpose if it saves the teacher the trouble of consulting many engineering books for the purpose of selecting a few mathematical problems for his students. The author also hopes that the book may stimulate interest in higher mathematics among his fellow engineers and thus help to a. Better understanding of some intricate relations where at present rule of thumb prevails in design.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the applications of higher mathematics to a wide range of engineering problems. Covering topics like machine design, hydraulics, thermodynamics, mechanics of materials, and electrical engineering, it serves as a valuable resource for students and engineers seeking to enhance their understanding of calculus and analytic geometry in a practical context. The authorââ â¢s goal is not to introduce new mathematical methods or practical deductions but rather to present a systematic collection and arrangement of existing applications. The book delves into the crucial concept of expanding gases, a principle fundamental to the operation of both steam engines and gas engines. It examines various cases of expansion, including those at constant volume, constant pressure, and constant temperature, as well as adiabatic and polytropic changes. The author further explores the complexities of saturated steam, crucial for understanding the workings of steam engines and turbines, examining its pressure-temperature relationship and its density, a key factor in practical design. The text then moves into the realm of air compressors, outlining the intricate processes involved in compressing air and exploring the concept of multi-stage compression to enhance efficiency. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of using mathematical tools to understand and analyze intricate engineering phenomena, promoting a deeper understanding of the principles underpinning these technologies.
