Excerpt from The Design and Construction of Steam Turbines: A Manual for the Engineer
Mr. Alexander Richardson procured for the author complete data of important turbine tests, which have proved invaluable.
TO Mr. W. Chilton and Mr. J. M. Newton, B. Se., Of the Brush Electrical Engineering Company, a special meed Of thanks is due for the results Of some Of their experiments on blading.
The general scheme of this volume was decided on after much consideration, and the author finally adopted the plan of giving, without prior proof, important rules and formulas in a shape convenient for immediate practical application. The demonstrations are proceeded with later, in the belief that they will be the more readily followed by the average reader, when he has previously been impressed with the utility of the result.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of steam turbines, a technology that revolutionized power generation in the early 20th century. The author, drawing on years of experience and articles published in the prestigious journal *ENGINEERING*, provides a comprehensive and practical guide to the theory and construction of these powerful machines. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the principles underlying impulse and reaction turbines, exploring the intricate workings of guide blades, nozzles, and moving buckets. The book illuminates the key role of the Mollier diagram, a powerful tool for understanding the thermodynamic properties of steam and predicting turbine performance. Beyond mere mechanics, the author explores the nuances of efficiency, analyzing factors such as friction losses and the critical velocity of flow. He also delves into the practical considerations of turbine design, including the selection of appropriate materials and the balancing of rotating parts. The book's detailed explanations and clear illustrations offer an invaluable resource for engineers and anyone seeking a thorough understanding of steam turbine technology.
