Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plant Engineering The field embraced by the title is a large one and it has been necessary to limit the treatment to essential elements. Much of the matter contained in the author's original notes, including that relat ing to, steam engine design, valve gears, steam boiler design, and the like, has therefore been omitted. The numerous references appear ing throughout the text and the appended bibliographies, which have been carefully compiled, are depended upon to extend the scope of the work. The standard codes of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers for conducting engine and boiler trials are in frequent demand by engineers and have therefore been included as an appendix. Authorities have been freely consulted and extensive use made of current engineering literature, due acknowledgment being made by footnote or reference whenever possible. The matter included is representative of American practice and no effort has been made to include any other except in a few special cases. The author wishes to express his obligations to Prof. Raymond Burnham for many valuable suggestions and corrections, and to Mrs. Julia Beveridge, librarian at Armour Institute, for assistance in compiling references.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plants: Their Design and Construction Frequently engineers and others in charge of a manufacturing business, be it a mill, factory or electric generating station, are called upon to design and purchase a steam power plant or parts of it when their knowledge of the machinery that goes into such a plant is more or less limited, and without being able to obtain the benefit of the advice of a competent consulting engineer. It is hoped that this book will be of special value to this class and of some value to all interested in steam power-plant construction. Part of the text appeared in a series of articles in the engineer ing record, and when the demand for them seemed to warrant their' being published in book form they were thoroughly revised and considerable new matter added. A number of the illustrations have been selected from articles printed in the engineering record during the last two or three years descriptive of steam power-plant construction. They are reprinted without the text that accompanied them, thinking they would be suggestive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-10 with total page 778 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mechanical Engineering of Power Plants This book has been undertaken with two distinct objects in view, and according to a principle suggested by these objects. The first and primary intention is to provide a book to serve as a textbook in class-room work in a University which makes the education of engineers a part of its duty. This object has given the book its form and has determined its arrangement. It must have been observed by every instructor that the most enthusiastic class of students who follow engineering in the schools are those who have had a previous experience in the shop or in the power house which has made them familiar with the conditions which there prevail, and has brought to their attention questions for which they have sought to find answers. It is the wish of its projector that. So far as that condition can be met by any book whatever, this book should put all students of engineering somewhat upon the footing of these fortunate persons. It must therefore present the machinery and appliances of the power house before the reader's mind from the practical or experimental side, and make him familiar with the power plant in its various forms, and seek to familiarize him with the solutions which experi ence and good judgment have proposed for problems of this sort.

Download or read book The Steam Engineer's Handbook written by International Correspondence Schools and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Steam Engineer's Handbook is volume that began for tradesmen in the early 20th century. Small, straightforward and satisfactory to requirements. It begins with practical mathematical guidance which could benefit any elementary student of applied mathematics. Volumes of cylinders, cubes and oblongs and equations for the measurement of pressure within a pipe or boiler. The contents hardly stop there however, and the reader can expect a practical guide to relevant chemistry, a construction brief on the major types of furnace and stern directive on how to obtain quality steam. It is likely this comprehensive approach that kept this book in use for engineers until later in the century and keeps it relevant to this day. This book was intended to be, in its author's words, 'A convenient reference book for all persons interested in Steam Boilers, Steam Engines, Steam Turbines and the other Auxiliary appliances and Machinery of Power plants'. Calculated to be a handbook in the literal sense this book is academic without the faintest trace of elitism and optimistic about the possibility of solving just about any steam engine, boiler or auxiliary system problem. The scope was ambitious from the start but it keeps this book fascinating. At the time of writing these technologies did not simply heat homes, baths or meals for society. It pushed steamships across the Atlantic and powered cross continental trains to cut through the unbroken landscape. This technology was reaching the world and bringing it within our grasp. This book stowed away in the pockets of the engineers as they went. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plant Auxiliaries and Accessories Most of the preventable losses in the engine rooms of steam power plants occur in connection with the auxiliary equipment. Generally speaking, there is not a great deal that the operating engineer can do to increase the efficiencies of the prime movers -the turbines or engines. It is also a fact - that, as a rule, the prime movers in a plant give relatively little trouble and involve relatively little maintenance expense. Most of the trouble and maintenance expense is due to the auxiliaries. Thus, it. follows that, in a sense, the auxiliary equipment comprises the most important part of that portion of the power-plant equipment which transforms the heat in the steam into power. Hence, in this book, it has been the endeavor to give such data as will enable the operator to select, and properly install, auxiliary equipment which will insure the generation of power at the least cost. Furthermore - and quite as important. - it has been the aim to provide the information whereby this auxiliary equipment can be so operated and maintained that its preventable losses will be a minimum and that its up-keep expense will be as small as is feasible. Drawings for all of the 411 illustrations were made especially for this work. It has been the endeavor so to design and render these pictures that they will convoy the desired information with a minimum of supplementary discussion. Throughout the text, principles which are presented are explained with descriptive expositions or with worked-out arithmetical examples. At the end of each of the 13 divisions there are questions to be answered and, where justified, problems to be solved by the reader. These questions and problems arc based on the text matter in the division just preceding. If the reader can answer the questions and solve the problems, he then must be conversant with the subject matter of the division. Detail solutions to all of the problems are printed in the appendix in the back of the book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...Hc absorbed by the air in passing through the cooling device, B.T.U. per hour, is Ht = Hc + Ht. (102) Neglecting radiation and other minor losses, the heat H, absorbed by the air must be equal to the heat given up by the circulating water, or H, = H. (103) Example: Determine the quantity of air passing through the cooling tower per hour and the circulating water lost by evaporation in a power plant operating under the following conditions: Engines indicate 500 H.P. and consume 20 lbs. steam per I.H.P. hour; temperature of the injection water, discharge water and outside air, 90,122 and 72 F., respectively; barometer 29.5; relative humidity of air entering and leaving tower 70 and 90 per cent respectively; vacuum at condenser 25 inches. Determine also the weight of water evaporated in per cent of that circulated and of the condensed steam. In the problem, These values are obtained from Steam Tables and from Air Tables (Table 58). Substitute these values in equations (96) to (103) thus: (96), p, = 29.5-0.79 X 0.7 = 28.95. (96a), p, = 29.5-2.74 X 0.9 = 27.03. (97), w = H X 0.0747 V0. = 0.0722 y0. (97a), w = 0.001224 X 0.7 V0 = 0.000857 V0. By assumption, t2 being 10 to 20 degrees lower than ( in average practice when the range le--is greater than 30 degrees. t Marks and Davis: the values in Table 58 are Regnault's. Og V.28.95 460 + 112 Vl 27.03 460 + 72 0 = 1.152; that is, each cu. ft. of dry air entering the cooling-tower is increased in volume to 1.152 cu. ft. as it leaves. (98a), w2 = 0.003978 X 0.9 X 1.152 Vt = 0.004125 V0. (98b), w3 = 0.004125 V0-0.000857 V0 = 0.003268 V0. The total heat to be abstracted from the steam (see equation (84), page 347) is H-500 X 20 (1120.1-122 + 32) = 10,300,000 B.T.U. per hour. (99), But W (122-90)...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Fuel Oil and Steam Engineering: A Practical Treatise Dealing With Fuel Oil, for the Central Station Man, the Power Plant Operator, the Mechanical Engineer and the Student The rapidity with which the first edition of this book was exhausted has exceeded the fondest expectations of its writers. The field of fuel oil in its uses in steam electric generation, though an important one, is somewhat narrow in the number of people involved in its study. The early exhaustion of the first edition, however, has given the authors an opportunity to re-write the book and to add many new and interesting advances that have been made during the three year period since the first edition appeared upon the market. We are particularly grateful to Prof. L. S. Marks of Harvard University, to Prof. W. F. Durand of Stanford University; Mr. C. R. Weymouth, chief engineer of Charles C. Moore & Co.; Messrs. R. J. C. Wood and H. L. Doolittle of the Southern California Edison Company; Mr. E. A. Rogers, chief engineer of steam electric generation for the New Cornelia Copper Co.; Mr. E. H. Peabody, consulting engineer; Prof. E. H. Lockwood of Yale; Dr. D. S. Jacobus, advisory engineer of the Babcock and Wilcox Company; and Mr. J. E. Woodbridge of Ford, Bacon and Davis, for valuable information, helpful suggestions, and a kindly and encouraging attitude for further efforts in the compilation of this work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Economy Factor in Steam-Power Plants So far as is known, there is not another single volume comprehensively treating this subject, which in view of its interest and importance is a matter of much wonder. The data used in compiling this treatise has been carefully selected from the results of actual experiments, all mere reports and unauthentic results being absolutely discarded. It is believed, therefore, to represent the only authentic collection of data upon the eco nomic performance of the various power plant constituents. The principal use to which the method for solving for power plant economy described hereinafter may be put, consists in predetermining the results to be derived from various classes of power plants under differ ent conditions. These results may be used by engineering contractors in determining proper values for economy guarantees, by the consulting engineer in comparing the relative merits of various types of proposed installations, by the student in a study of power plant economics, and for various other purposes.

This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Turbine Practice and Water-Power Plants Two years ago the writer published in Engineering News some articles on modern turbine practice, and the encouragement given by progressive engineers led him to rewrite these articles, to make large additions, and to include new subject-matter, which together form the contents of this volume. The object of this book is to give such information in regard to modern turbines and their proper installation as is necessary to the hydraulic engineer in designing a water-power plant, and no attempt has been made to treat on the design of turbines, as to do this satisfactorily would require in itself a very large volume. The writer has designed turbines both in America and in Europe, and has been connected in engineering capacities with water power developments aggregating nearly h.p., having been in charge of the hydraulic work during the planning and construction of some of the most important developments in Canada. The writer therefore had an excellent Opportunity to study the subject from the point of View of both the turbine builder and the turbine user and thus became convinced of the necessity of thorough changes and improvements in the American turbine practice.
