Excerpt from The Temperature-Entropy Diagram
The present revision includes the following additions and changes: Minor insertions have been made in the chapters upon the Flow of Fluids, the Gas Engine Cycles, and the Non-conducting Steam Engine. The chapter on Refrigeration and the Warming Engine has been expanded into separate chapters upon each subject. A special chapter has been added upon Entropy Analysis in the Boiler Room. The Tables upon the Efficiency, Water and Heat Consumption of the Rankine Cycle have been extended to cover the range of low-pressure turbines as well as high-pressure reciprocating engines. All illustrative problems have been recalculated to agree with the most recent and accurate data upon steam. The second and third editions of this book have so extended its scope that it is now a treatise upon graphical thermodynamics although still abiding by the limitations imposed by its title.
