Excerpt from Thermodynamics Applied to Engineering
The purpose of this text is to present the principles of engineering thermodynamics in the simplest fashion, and to illuminate these conceptions by reference to the best British and American practice in the major fields of their application. In the selection of examples for illustration stress has been laid on recent developments likely to make a strong imaginative appeal on account of their unusual interest.
The standard of the work is that which is characteristic of University degree requirements on both sides of the Atlantic, and it is hoped that there will be a welcome both in America and Great Britain.
Both as a student and teacher, the author is indebted to Sir J. A. Ewing's lucid exposition of this subject. Thanks are also due to Professor William J. Goudie for suggestions in reference to the determination of the resultant pressure on turbine blading; to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, for permission to use information contained in original papers by members; and to the various firms who have readily supplied information concerning their products. Mr. J. C. MacLagan, designer of the North British double-acting two-cycle Diesel engine, and his firm were particularly helpful in this respect.
