Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of the theory of the steam engine, its applications, and the limitations of its theory. Beginning with the mechanical theory of heat and the science of thermodynamics, the author explores how these principles were applied to the steam engine, leading to the determination of the unavoidable losses involved in the transformation of heat into mechanical energy. The book also examines the physical processes that contribute to these losses, such as conduction, radiation, and internal condensation. By incorporating these physical phenomena into the theory of the steam engine, a more complete understanding of its efficiency and operation is achieved. This book provides valuable insights into the historical development and scientific principles that govern the steam engine, making it an essential resource for engineers and those interested in the history of technology. 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.
