Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of the author's engine tests, both feed water and valve setting, primarily of stationary engines. The data is largely taken from Corliss and other similar large mill engines operating at a consistent load, and covers a wide variety of conditions in regard to boiler pressure, cutoff, load, speed, and valve setting, together with various conditions in regard to quality of steam, use of jackets, and the tightness of valves and pistons. In addition to the raw data collected from individual engines, the author provides a review of the results, showing the subjects on which the tests bring out information. The review focuses on cylinder condensation and its analysis, the relative economy of different engine types, the effect of superheating, jacketing, and piston speed among other subjects. Finally, sample indicator diagrams are shown from both ends of the cylinders. 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. print-on-demand item.…
