520 _a"Steam Engines" by Anonymous is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to steam engines, discussing their principles of operation, mechanical details, and efficiency factors. The intended audience appears to include engineers and students of mechanical engineering looking to deepen their understanding of steam engine technology. The content of the book is structured around various aspects of steam engines, covering topics such as the action of steam engines, rating and general proportions, engine details, economy, and types of steam engines. It elaborates on the mechanics of how steam is transformed into work, the importance of efficiency and horsepower calculations, and discusses specific components like valves and governors that are pivotal in engine design. The text details testing methods for determining engine performance and provides practical examples and diagrams to support its instructional purpose, making it a valuable industrial reference for anyone involved in steam engineering.
