Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Practical Physics of the Modern Steam Boiler, Vol. 1 My purpose in this book is to give prominence to the fundamental principles which affect the form and the action of steam boilers. So many excellent treatises have been published which deal with the regulations concerning, and the structural details of, boilers of the cylindrical type; in a word, with what may be called the Mechanics of the steam boiler (i.e., treating of the boiler as a machine), that it has seemed to me useless to repeat chapters on strength of materials, on riveting and joints, and on numerous other interesting and important matters. I have not thought it necessary or advisable to follow that well-beaten track, but have endeavoured to take another path, as guided by the indications of physical research towards the goal of a fuller understanding of the actions involved in steam raising, and of the requirements of efficient boilers. Thus the pages of this book are occupied with the practical Physics of the steam boiler (treating of the boiler as a heat engine), and deal more particularly with that which may be termed the modern form, the water-tube boiler. My aim in them is therefore not so much to treat of how boilers are made, as to consider on what lines they may be improved. One consequence of the adoption of this aspect of the subject is that our point of view is changed as to several of its departments.
