Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is an introduction to steam engine theory and operation. It provides a high-level overview of the engineering principles involved and the history of steam power. The author uses clear, simple language to explain the inner workings of steam engines, breaking them down into individual components and explaining the function of each. Steam engine history is addressed by discussing both early stationary models and later locomotive variants. The book also introduces the role of governors in regulating the speed and efficiency of steam engines. Finally, the author introduces theoretical calculations used to assess the performance of real-world steam engines. The book uses these practical examples to show the reader how steam engine theory can be applied to the real world, making this a valuable text for anyone interested in the development of steam power as a technology that shaped the industrial revolution.
