Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and controversy surrounding the claim that showering cold water on red-hot furnace crowns within steam boilers can lead to catastrophic explosions. The author analyzes a series of experiments conducted in 1889 to determine the validity of this claim. The experiments revealed that, rather than causing an explosion, showering cold water on red-hot furnace crowns actually cooled them down, reducing pressure and preventing collapse. The book also explores the broader context of steam boiler explosions and the prevailing scientific views of the time. By challenging long-held beliefs and providing empirical evidence, this book sheds new light on the safety and operation of steam boilers, offering valuable insights for engineers, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of industrial technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
