Excerpt from Elements of Steam and Gas Power Engineering
In the preparation of this treatise the authors have attempted to present a clear and concrete statement of the principles underlying the construction and operation of steam and gas power equipment.
The first chapter is devoted to a general survey of the field of power engineering and brings out the factors essential for the production of power, the principles governing the action of various mechanical motors, and a comparison of their performance.
The main portion of the book is divided into three parts. The first part takes up the subject of steam power and includes fuels, combustion, theory of steam generation, boilers, boiler auxiliaries, boiler accessories, steam engines, steam turbines, auxiliaries for steam engines and turbines, and the testing of steam power equipment. The second part is devoted to gas power and includes a study of the internal combustion engine, fuels for internal combustion engines, gas producers and the various auxiliaries found in connection with internal combustion engine power plants. The last portion of the book treats of the application of steam and gas power to locomotives, automobiles, trucks and tractors.
The method followed in each chapter was to give: first, the fundamental principles underlying the particular phase of equipment under consideration; second, the structural details; third, auxiliary parts; fourth, operation and management of the equipment considered.
This book has been prepared primarily as a textbook for students in engineering schools and colleges in order to familiarize them with power plant equipment before they take up the more abstract study of thermodynamics and design. The subject matter of this treatise is so prepared that it should prove of considerable value to those who are responsible for the operation of steam or internal combustion engine power plants.
