Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Engines and Power Generators, Vol. 4: A Practical Work on Prime Movers and the Transmission of Power, Steam, Electric, Water, and Hot Air This Volume deals principally with the Reciprocating Steam Engine and its many accessories. This prime mover is by far the most important engine at present, but there are unmistakable signs that it has reached apoint in its progress beyond which im provement is impossible. The adoption of superheating in order to increase the economy of fuel is the last step, beyond which it is difficult to see in what other direction further improvements may come from. The steam turbine has already proved a superior prime mover in marine propulsion for the higher classes of high-speed vessels. The gas blowing engines have displaced the reciprocating steam engine at the great iron works here and abroad, and the gas engine with the gas producer is more and more taking the place of steam engines. The small factory with its tall chimney and boiler and engine is already out of date such factories being established now would be driven by oil or gas engines, or by an electric motor on the street electricity supply. Nevertheless there is, and will be for long, a considerable demand for reciprocating steam engines. It will take many years to bring turbines and gas engines into universal application, so that the study of reciprocating steam engines and their modern development is still of great interest and value. Thanks are due to the many engineers who have supplied information and drawings; to Mr. Morison, of Messrs. Westgarth Co., and to Professor Watkinson, for details of their inventions.

Book Description
Excerpt from Modern Engines and Power Generators, Vol. 1: A Practical Work on Prime Movers and the Transmission of Power, Steam, Electric, Water and Hot Air The windmill is worthy of attention in connection with the possibility of trans mitting and storing the energy generated. Combined with storage, the best site for the mill may be chosen, and the energy delivered where required at any reasonable distance. The water turbines selected for description are the latest of their types, with special reference to governing. Injectors and centrifugal pumps are shortly discussed. These, although not prime movers, are important impulse machines closely connected with prime movers operating by momentum and fluid velocities.
