Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is the most comprehensive treatise yet written on the development of the Giffard injector, a device that revolutionized steam locomotion and had a significant impact on the development of industrial steam power plants. From the first experimental steam jet pumps of the early 19th century, to the mathematically optimized nozzles and carefully calibrated internal geometry found in the later forms of the Giffard injector, the author traces the path of innovation using original source material from engineers, inventors, and scientific researchers. Beyond its historical significance, the Giffard injector is also an excellent example of how engineering and science work together to solve real-world problems, making this book an ideal resource for engineers, historians, and students of thermodynamics alike. Its detailed mathematical analysis of steam jet behavior and the innovative use of the steam cone's internal contouring to create a controlled vacuum for lifting feedwater will be of particular interest to academics and engineers. 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.…
