A Book of Instruction for the Adjustment and Operation of the Principal Types of this Class of Prime Movers Collins, Hubert E. (Hubert Edwin) 1872-1932 creator text utu 2009 monographic en 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Steam Turbines" by Hubert E. Collins is a technical manual for engineers written in the early 20th century. This instructional guide focuses on the adjustment and operation of various types of steam turbines, providing practical instructions and insights drawn from the experiences of successful engineers. It aims to fill a noticeable gap in literature specifically for operating engineers who are unfamiliar with these complex machines. The opening of the book presents an introduction that acknowledges the existing literature on steam turbines, noting the lack of accessible, practical guidance for engineers in the field. It emphasizes the necessity of understanding the physical aspects of turbine operation beyond theoretical mechanics, leading into a discussion about the Curtis steam turbine. The author aims to address common operational challenges and maintenance procedures, providing descriptions of components and their functions to support engineers on the job. The tone is informative and aimed at practitioners who will appreciate straightforward explanations of turbine operation rather than theoretical discussions.
