Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book demonstrates the use of the steam-engine indicator, a device used to describe the working condition of steam engines. This was significant because it exposed defects within engines that were not otherwise apparent, such as excessive power loss or the need for adjustment or replacement of valves or pistons. The author presents a series of indicator diagrams and a thorough analysis of each. Through close examination of these diagrams, the author shows how to determine the horsepower of an engine, the efficiency of valves, and the amount of steam being used. The author also offers guidance on diagnosing problems revealed by diagrams and provides detailed instructions on how to make adjustments to improve engine performance. This book is an invaluable resource for engineers seeking to understand the science behind the steam engine and to operate them more economically. 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.…
