Steam Turbines - With an Appendix on Gas Turbines and the Future of Heat Engines #269745

With the permission of Prof. Mollier of Dresden, there has been added his excellent diagram of the heat contents of steam, exceedingly useful in turbine calculations. A further addition, that may be useful to designers just at pres ent, is the reports of the comprehensive experiments on the many stage impulse turbines of and Ratean. As the author was given full freedom in conducting his experiments, researches of a scientific character could also be made, and we might say that we know more about the performance of this turbine type under vari ous conditions of running than that of any, other system.
