The expansive force of the gases was in this way, it is true, some what diminished, but the moving parts suffered less, and the engine required less repair and was more durable. I gni tion of the explosive charge was effected by a gas jet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Gas Measurement Technology in Theory and Practice by Gerhard Wiegleb Pdf

The book describes the physical properties of gases and describes the different measuring methods and sensor principles for the analysis of gas mixtures. The use of gas sensors in different applications is shown by means of practical examples. These applications of the metrological detection of gases originate from many fields of engineering, in particular energy technology, food technology, process engineering, biotechnology, safety engineering, medical technology and environmental technology. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Gasmesstechnik in Theorie und Praxis by Gerhard Wiegleb, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2017. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

A Text-Book on Gas, Oil, and Air Engines (Classic Reprint) by Bryan Donkin Pdf

Excerpt from A Text-Book on Gas, Oil, and Air Engines One reason which may account for the great develop ment Of gas and Oil motors, besides their convenience and absence of a boiler, is their much larger thermal efficiency, as compared with that of steam engines. The best modern compound or triple steam motors, using 120 to lbs. Steam pressure, working with about the same piston speed as gas engines, give from 10 to 15 per cent. Heat efficiency; in other words, Of the total heat given to the engine, some 12 per cent. Only is converted into indicated work. With gas it is sometimes as much as 28 per cent; more Often.

The Gas, Petrol, and Oil Engine, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) by Dugald Clerk Pdf

Excerpt from The Gas, Petrol, and Oil Engine, Vol. 2 The first volume of the new edition of this work was published in 1909, so that three years have been spent in the preparation of the present volume, which deals with practical problems of design, con struction and operation of Gas, Petrol, and Oil Engines. The author has been fortunate in securing the co-operation of Mr. G. A. Burls, in collecting information and writing the book. Chapters I, II, V and XII are by the author Chapters VII, VIII, IX and XI are by Mr. Burls while Chapters III, IV, VI and X are in great part the work of Mr. Burls. The whole work, however, has been the subject of joint discussion, and the book as it now stands correctly represents the opinions of both writers. The aim throughout all the chapters has been the comparison of early and late constructions and the discussion of various problems which have appeared in the course of the development of the various types of engine since the introduction of the Otto cycle in 1876. Chapters I and II deal broadly with the development of four and two-stroke engines, and describe various difficulties which have been encountered and partially overcome; results of operation are given and various tests are dealt with both in the works and in practical Operation in factories. Chapter III deals with igniting arrangements, and describes and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the different methods used, tracing the development which has demonstrated the supremacy of electrical ignition in its best forms. Chapter IV describes governors and governing methods as practised on the Continent and in England and America.

Harper's Gasoline Engine Book by A. Hyatt Verrill Pdf

Excerpt from Harper's Gasoline Engine Book: How the Engine Is Made, How to Use It at Home, in Boats and Vehicles, an Elsewhere, and How to Keep It in Order It has made possible the aeroplane and the submarine, the automobile, the motorcycle, and the motor-boat. In factories, farms, and homes countless motors are in daily use, steadily and rapidly performing a thousand tasks that formerly required the slow and laborious work Of many hands. Gas engines even drive the great dynamos that flash unseen wireless messages across the broad Atlantic, while locomotives thunder across continents and steam ships plow the seas by means Of this same wonderful power. The modern gas motor is the simplest, strongest, and most compact power-producing device known to man, and yet not one person in a thousand has but a vague idea Of its principles or operation. The purpose of this book is to serve as a simple, practical, and complete guide for all those who own, use, or Operate gas and gasoline motors. In its preparation every effort has been made to do away with technical terms and names and to adapt the book to the requirements Of those who possess little or no knowledge Of engineering or mechanics.

Gas and Oil Engines and Gas-Producers by Lionel S. Marks Pdf

Excerpt from Gas and Oil Engines and Gas-Producers: A Treatise on Theoretical and Mechanical Developments of the Modern Internal-Combustion Motor, Its Application to the Production of Efficient Power Units, and the Latest Designs of Fuel Producers Classification of Heat Engines. The heat engine is at present the most important of all the available generators of power. Its purpose is to convert into work the heat derived from the combustion of fuel. Heat engines may be divided into two broad classes, according to where the combustion of the fuel takes place. In one class the combustion takes place entirely outside the working cylinder, the heat of combustion being transmitted by conduction through the walls of a containing vessel to the substance which constitutes the active working agent. Such engines may be called external-combustion motors. The most common example of this class is the steam engine. Another example, which is but little used, is the hot-air engine. If the combustion takes place inside the engine itself, or in a communi cating vessel, so that the products of combustion act directly on the engine, We have an engine of the second class - the so-called internal combustion motor. Gas and oil engines are the most common examples of this type of motor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Internal Combustion Engine by H. E. Wimperis Pdf

Excerpt from The Internal Combustion Engine: Being a d104 Book on Gas, Oil and Petrol Engines, for the Use of Students and EngineersThe Internal Combustion Engine is of such obviously growing importance that its study has become a necessity. Everywhere one finds evidence of the gradual replacement of steam plant, particularly in those cases where power users are in a position to avail themselves of the superior economy in moving and standing charges of the suction producer and gas engine. In marine propulsion the posi tion of the steam engine is at present almost unassailed, but even there the situation is beginning to change.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Oil Motors by G. Lieckfeld Pdf

Excerpt from Oil Motors: Their Development, Construction, and Management, a Handbook for Engineers, Owners, Attendants, and All Interested in Engines Using Liquid Fuel In the same way as wonders have been wrought with the electric current, it being impossible to define what electricity exactly is, a great deal has been accomplished with liquid fuel, petrol especially, an essence of crude mineral oil - petroleum - oi which it is very difficult to say more than that it is the result of a very complete natural distillation of some original substance or substances, carried out during a very lengthy period. The adjective mineral in a preface to the present book forms more or less of a misnomer, for the author is of the opinion that petroleum is the result of a natural distillation of animal matter. This, as is well known, is a much disputed point, and there are many experts who entertain the theory that petroleum is a result of the decomposition of vegetable remains, while others, quite as numerous, believe it to be due to the natural reaction of gases upon minerals, the process in the latter case being, if we may so term it, a volcanic one. The formation of a definite opinion on this point is further complicated by the fact that the chemical composition of petroleum from various sources shows many distinctive characteristics. The author is therefore quite justified in putting forward his theory it has as many points in its favour as the two others.
