Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book, first published in 1903, provides detailed instructions on designing and analysing slide valves for steam engines. An essential component in early steam engine design, the slide valve controls the flow of steam into and out of the engine's cylinders. The author describes in detail the intricate relationship between the valve's dimensions and its motion relative to the engine's crank, as well as how adjustments to the valve's position and timing can impact the engine's performance. The book also includes a series of easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions with diagrams that show how to set up a slide valve for a given set of operating conditions. While the book focuses on the design and analysis of slide valves for steam engines, the principles and techniques described in this book remain relevant to valve and cam design more generally, which has applications in a wide range of engineering disciplines.
