Steam-Engine Governorsby ICS
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:So you're the engineer in charge of keeping the factory of 600 workers supplied with power. When Buford, the company mascot, gets his necktie caught in the wood lathe he's using at the other of the plant, you don't want the sudden increase in load to slow down the line shaft supplying all the other tools. You want your big stationary steam engine to keep on rolling at the same rpm. Buford is expendable. Your job is not. You just gotta have a governor! Contents include: types of governors, pendulum and flyball governors, spring loaded governors, static and astatic governors, coefficient of speed variation, fundamental equation for stability, shaft governors (you might need a big one if all your employees are as dumb as Buford), relative advantages of centrifugal and inertia governors, and more. Then you get 39 pages of formulas and sample calculations that will allow you to design a governor from the size of the weights to the stiffness of the spring. No, no. It's not complicated. Just high school math. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
