About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1839 edition. Excerpt: ...that this system can be introduced, with much greater advantage, in engines that are employed in the raising of water, than in those which are devoted to manufacturing purposes. In these last, the power is opposed to a continually varying resistance; while in the former, the resistance is.commonly the same, or of equal intensity. To the proprietor of a pumping engine, we would advise the adoption of the expansive system to an almost unlimited extent--even to the exclusion of any further ingress of steam to the cylinder, after the piston had passed through but oneeighth or one-ninth of its stroke. But to a manufacturer, our observations must be more strictly confined. By these remarks, we do not wish to imply, that the manufacturer should not have recourse to its application: on the contrary, we have known instances where it has been introduced, by our own suggestion, and where a considerable saving, in the economization of fuel, has been effected by it. All that we wish to enforce is, that it cannot be carried to the same extent in a manufactory as in a lifting engine, without producing an inequality of motion. Expansive steam may be thus explained: --If we allow steam to flow into the cylinder of a steam-engine until the piston be depressed to one-half of the stroke, and then prevent the admission of any further quantity, the piston will, if the engine be properly weighted, continue its motion to the bottom. The pressure of the steam, so long as the supply be continued from the boiler, will be equal, we will suppose, to ten pounds upon the inch. With this force it will act upon the piston until it completes one-half of the stroke: the further supply of steam will then be excluded, and that which is in the cylinder will expand as the piston..
