Synopsis
Excerpt from Steam Turbines: Practice and Theory
In brief explanation of the contents, it may be said that the first chapter is a condensed treatise upon the fundamental princi ples of the steam turbine. The second chapter traces its early development and shows the state of the art at the time when the turbine became a commercial success. It is believed that this review will not only save considerable research, but in connection with the first chapter will serve to ground the beginner in first principles; for there is no way of accomplishing this so effectively as by a study of what others have done.
