The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

This Edition has been carefully revised, and a large amount of fresh matter has been supplied with the view of bringing the book up to date, and of keeping it abreast of the times. To Lecture VII. there has been added an Explanation of the Sensible and Latent Heats of Steam by the Kinetic Theory of Heat. In the Appendix (Iv.) has been placed an entirely new Lecture, Xa, which should be studied before Lecture XL, as it deals with Work done during the Conversion of Water into Dry Steam, e.g., Definitions of Internal and External Work Efficiency of Steam, fec. General Expressions for External and Internal Work during Evaporation and Generation of Steam in a Closed Vessel. Lecture XL has been supplemented by Methods of Constructing the Curve of Pressures and Volumes by Boyles Law, and Lecture XVII. by Crank Effort Diagrams of the Thomas Russell Engine, and of a recent trial of a Triple Expansion Marine Engine. In Lecture XXVII. the Galloway NBoiler has been substituted for the previous Breeches-flued Boiler. In Appendix III. two of the most recent and successful forms of High-speed Engines for the direct driving of dynamos, viz.: the Belliss and the Willans Central Valve Engines (and, in connection with the latter, Willans ingenious Centrifugal Governor) have been illustrated and described. Also, there will be found an account of The Wayne Steam Indicator, as just brought out by Messrs. Elliott Brothers, of London, for taking Steam and Gas Engine Diagrams at very vmuch higher speeds than any other Indicator hitherto designed and made for that purpose. All questions set at the 1893 and 1894 Advanced and Honours Examinations of the Science and Art Department in Steam have been placed in Appendix( I am indebted for hints and assistance in the preparation of vthis Edition to Mr. Robert Caird, of Greenock, and Messrs. John and Robert M.Anderson, Associates of Engineering in the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College; and to Mr. William Hay for plotting the Crank Effort Curves from the Indicator Diagrams.
