Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book details the history of water-tube boilers, their development, and their use in ships and road vehicles. The author traces the development of water-tube boilers from their early use in the 18th century to their widespread adoption in the late 19th century, focusing on how the boilers' unique circulation system makes them more efficient and powerful than traditional boilers. The book examines the advantages water-tube boilers offer, such as their compactness, lightweight construction, adaptability to forced draught, and higher steam pressures which enabled the development of more powerful steam engines. The author also discusses the challenges encountered in using water-tube boilers, including circulation issues and corrosion, and how these were overcome through innovative designs and materials. By providing a comprehensive overview of the history, principles, and practical applications of water-tube boilers, this book will be of interest to engineers, historians, and anyone interested in the development of steam power.
