Opis: A Manual of Marine Engineering - Seaton An; Edward

Excerpt from A Manual of Marine Engineering: Comprising the Design, Construction, and Working of Marine Machinery<br><br>The demand for the Manual having exhausted the edition, the opportunity has been taken to make such alterations and addition as will bring it up to date. Although such a comparatively short time has elapsed since it was revised, the modifications and extensions of the Rules of the Board of Trade, Lloyd's Register, Bureau Veritas, British Corporation, &c., have been considerable, and they are now all noted in this edition.<br><br>The use of superheated steam on board ship has been revived in a tentative way, the advantages of steam in this state are obvious, and the possibilities and value of it are shown in diagrammatic form (Fig. 16a) from experiments made with engines of the marine type, or of the types analagous to it, in central electric station on shore.<br><br>In Appendix N, the turbine as a marine motor is discussed.<br><br>In conclusion, the author trusts that this revised edition may meet with as kindly a reception as has been accorded to its predecessors.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
