Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book, published in the early 20th century, is a foundational text on steam-driven, direct-acting pumpsâ"a type of water pump that uses steam power to move water. The direct-acting pump had seen scant attention from writers on pumping machinery, perhaps due to its lower economy in fuel compared with other pumps. However, this book recognizes the importance of steam pumps, especially where exhaust steam is usable. It details pump design, performance factors such as capacity and efficiency, and covers the various types of pumps in use at the time, such as horizontal double-acting pumps and vertical single-acting pumps. The author provides a comprehensive overview of direct-acting pumps, a once-popular technology that played a significant role in the development of pumping machinery. This book is not just a historical record; it also offers valuable insights into the principles and design of these pumps, making it useful for engineers and historians alike. 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. …
