Description

Excerpt from Practical Thermodynamics: A Treatise on the Theory and Design of Heat Engines, Refrigeration Machinery, and Other Power-Plant Apparatus The writer has attempted at all times to bring most Of the work well within the comprehension Of the average technical student. In some places it will seem as if he had made his treatment Of the work absurdly simple, as, for instance, in the description Of the steam engine. He believes, however, that many Of the difficulties encountered by students arise from a misunderstanding Of facts which seem to the teacher to be perfectly obvious and which the teacher mistakenly believes that the student thoroughly understands. Another difficulty Often encountered in teaching thermodynamics arises from the fact that an inadequate preparation precedes the study Of the phenomena Of heat engines and other thermodynamic machinery. The author has therefore endeavored to present in the first seven chapters Of the book the fundamental physical principles upon which a further study Of the subject must depend, in such a thorough and simple manner that no trouble need subsequently arise from a misunderstanding Of these fundamentals.
