Publisher's Synopsis
The Mathematical Theory of the Steam Engine, written by Thomas Baker in 1875, is a comprehensive guide to the principles and calculations involved in the design and operation of steam engines. The book is intended for practical men, such as engineers and mechanics, and provides a detailed explanation of the mathematical formulas and rules necessary for understanding the workings of steam engines.The book covers a wide range of topics, including the properties of steam, the laws of thermodynamics, the construction of boilers, and the design and operation of steam engines. It also includes numerous worked-out examples and exercises to help readers apply the principles discussed in the text.One of the key features of the book is its emphasis on the practical application of mathematical theory. Baker provides clear and concise explanations of complex mathematical concepts, and demonstrates how these concepts can be used to solve real-world engineering problems. The book also includes a number of useful tables and charts, as well as a glossary of technical terms.Overall, The Mathematical Theory of the Steam Engine is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and development of steam engines, as well as for engineers and mechanics who work with these machines on a daily basis. Its clear and concise explanations, practical examples, and emphasis on mathematical theory make it an essential reference for anyone involved in the design, construction, or maintenance of steam engines.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
