Opis
Excerpt from Modern Practice in Heat Engines<br><br>A resident engineer at one of our experimental sea stations during the war, who was an expert in what Kipling once called the "Bridge-Dam-Girder" line, was present at a committee meeting when the silent propulsion of ships was under discussion. He said: "Gentlemen, at our station experiments are being carried out on a new type of engine, which is so silent that it is called the 'still engine.'" If this book ever reaches that engineer's library, I shall feel that it has not been written altogether in vain. I may even go further and express the hope that the steam section will interest the internal-combustion engineer, and vice vers.<br><br>The steam turbine section is largely based, by permission, on the lectures of my chief, Professor Gerald Stoney, D.Sc., F.R.S., and some of the descriptive part in this section, which is appearing in our article on "The Physics of the Steam Turbine" in the "Dictionary of Applied Physics," is used here through the courtesy of Messrs. Macmillan & Co., Ltd.<br><br>I am also grateful to my former colleague, W. J, Walker, Ph.D., who has now gone to St. Andrew's University, for the free use he has allowed me to make of his various investigations into the fundamental theory of the internal-combustion engine. He has also kindly undertaken the thankless task of reading through the proofs of this section.<br><br>A book of this description could not have been written without the willing collaboration of a large number of engineering firms and societies. Although their contributions have been acknowledged where they occur in the text, I should like to place on record here my indebtedness to the unfailing courtesy which I have always received.<br><br>The technical press has also been most generous in allowing me to reproduce drawings which they have published. In this connection I would especially thank the Editors of The Engineer, Engineering, The Power User, and the Zeitschrift des Vereins deutscher Ingenieure.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
