Excerpt from Heat Engines: Steam, Gas, Steam Turbines and Their Auxiliaries
The advancement in heat engines during the past four years has been such as to make it desirable to publish a new edition of this text. Among the new subjects treated are the Stumpf Uniflow Engine, the Humphrey Gas Pump, and recent developments in steam turbines and gas engines. It has been found also desirable to rewrite many of the chapters in order to clear up the points which experience has shown need more detailed explanation than was given in the first edition. At the same time an effort has been made not to increase materially the size of the book.
The authors desire to thank those members of the faculty of the mechanical engineering department of the University of Michigan who have assisted in the preparation of this text by their timely suggestions, and the manufacturers who have kindly supplied many of the new cuts used.
