Produktbeschreibung
The Mathematical Theory of the Steam Engine, first published in 1875, is a comprehensive guide to the principles of steam engine design and operation. Written by Thomas Baker, a British engineer and mathematician, the book provides detailed explanations of the mathematical equations and formulas used in the design and analysis of steam engines.The book begins with an overview of the basic principles of heat and thermodynamics, and then moves on to discuss the various types of steam engines, including the simple and compound engines. Baker provides detailed explanations of the design and operation of each type of engine, including the use of valves, pistons, and other components.Throughout the book, Baker provides numerous examples of how the mathematical principles he discusses can be applied in real-world situations. These examples are worked out in detail, providing practical guidance for engineers and other professionals working in the field of steam engine design and operation.Overall, The Mathematical Theory of the Steam Engine is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of steam engine technology, as well as for engineers and other professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of the mathematical principles underlying steam engine design and operation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
