4.9/5 (16719 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from Engineering of Power Plants This work is not a treatise on power plants. It is simply an epitome of the subject arranged by the authors for convenient classroom use. Originally compiled by one of the authors in 1908 for use at the Case School of Applied Science, these notes have been used for eight years at that institution and for four years at the University of Pennsylvania as the fundamental course in power plants for all senior engineering students, including mechanical, electrical, chemical, civil and mining engineers. Besides offering much general material relating to the Engineering of Power Plants, the two underlying thoughts in the preparation of this text for classroom use have been - (a) To bring to the student a realization of the fact that engineering, although based on the exact sciences, is not itself an exact science but requires, on the part of the successful engineer, a natural fund of common sense and the application of engineering judgment a realization of the fact that accuracy may mean within twenty percent, and not the seventh place to the right of the decimal point; and (b) To give the student some idea of the commercial side of engineering a field too seldom touched upon in many engineering courses. The cost figures presented must be used with caution as market variations are such and local conditions so different that such data can be at best only approximate. Although the authors have endeavored to give credit for data copied from various sources, much of the material has been so subdivided and used by so many different writers that it has not been feasible to trace it to its original source. The authors desire to acknowledge their appreciation of the excellent service rendered by Paul J. Kiefer in checking the material presented in these notes.
