Excerpt from A Manual of the Mechanics of Engineering and of the Construction of Machines, Vol. 2 of 3: Designed as a Text-Book for Technical Schools and Colleges, and for the Use of Engineers, Architects, Etc.; Section II. Application of Mechanics to Machines; Part II. Heat, Steam, and Steam Engines
After the completion of his own labors, the work appeared somewhat in complete in those directions relating to the application of the steam-engine where recent progress has been very considerable, and the translator has therefore associated with himself Mr. Richard H. Buel, c.e., who has made many additions to the book with especial reference to American practice, and will also take part in the appendix above referred to. Mr. Buel's anno tations are distinguished from the body of the work by being, in every case, in fine print and enclosed in brackets. With reference to these,it is but proper to state, that, having commenced their preparation immediately after completing the revision of a number of articles on mechanical engineering for Appleton's Cyclopaedia of Applied Mechanics (which work is now in course of publication by D. Appleton there is naturally much simi larity between the present notes and some portions of the annotations referred to, both being compiled, in general, from the same sources of information.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, an exhaustive two-volume work by the renowned physicist Gustav Hermann, is the authoritative 19th-century reference on heat, steam, and steam engines. It was the last in a trilogy penned by the author, and a significant expansion on the work of his esteemed predecessor, Johann Weisbach. The text presents a meticulously researched compendium of knowledge on the application of mechanics to these physical phenomena. Volume two delves into the properties of heat and the workings of steam engines, offering not only a survey of what was known at the time but also the author's own original contributions to the field. Understanding these principles was of the utmost importance during the industrial revolution, and this book became an indispensable resource for engineers and inventors of the era. Hermann's work remains a significant contribution to the field of physics and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science and technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
