Triple-Expansion Engines And Engine Trials (1890) - Paperback

by Osborne Reynolds (Author), F. E. Idell (Editor)

Triple-Expansion Engines And Engine Trials is a book written by Osborne Reynolds in 1890. This book is a comprehensive guide to the design and testing of triple-expansion steam engines, which were the most advanced form of steam engine technology of the time. The book covers a wide range of topics related to steam engines, including the principles of steam engine design, the construction of engines, and the testing of engines to ensure their efficiency and reliability. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the theoretical principles of steam engine design, including the thermodynamics of steam engines, the principles of triple-expansion engines, and the design of engine components such as cylinders, pistons, and valves. The second part of the book focuses on engine trials, which were used to test the performance of engines in a variety of conditions. The book includes detailed diagrams and illustrations to help readers understand the principles of steam engine design and operation. It also includes a number of tables and charts that provide data on engine performance, such as steam consumption, horsepower, and efficiency. Overall, Triple-Expansion Engines And Engine Trials is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the development of steam engine technology in the late 19th century. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of engineering and technology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
