Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Print on Demand. This book is an early engineering text focusing on the history of the steam engine from its inception to its use in machines in the late 18th century. The author begins by recounting the historical development of the steam engine, starting with rudimentary devices built by Hellenistic inventors in the 2nd century BC, through the more advanced but still impractical designs found in Renaissance Italy, to the practical engines of Thomas Savery and Thomas Newcomen in 17th and early 18th century England. James Watt's development of the separate condenser in 1769, which greatly increased the efficiency of steam engines, is covered in detail. The author also provides several firsthand accounts from Watt himself and others describing the state of steam engine technology in the 18th century. The book concludes with an examination of the theoretical underpinnings of heat engines by examining the work of Carnot, Rankine, and others. This book is valuable for anyone seeking to understand the development of heat engines and one of its most important outcomes, the steam engine. 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.…
