The Steam Engineer's Handbook: A Convenient Reference Book for All Persons Interested in Steam Boilers, Steam Engines, Steam Turbines, and the ... Machinery of Power Plants (Classic Reprint)

This handbook is intended as a reference volume for persons engaged in the actual management and care of steam engines, steam boilers, and the auxiliary appliances to be found in the average steampower plant. The aim of the publishers has been to select data of general interest from the vast store of available material, and to combine therewith information relating to the problems and difficulties likely to be encountered in the daily work of the engineer and the fireman. In order to keep the book of such size as to be carried conveniently in the pocket, the treatment of many of the subjects has necessarily been brief; but subjects of greater importance, as, for example, the care and operation of boilers and engines, have been dealt with more fully. The various tables have been selected with great care, and only those have been included which are likely to be consulted most frequently. The numerous rules and formulas are stated as simply and concisely as possible, and their applications are clearly illustrated by the full solution of many examples.
