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.

Excerpt from Gas and Oil Engines and Gas-Producers: A Treatise on the Modern Development of the Internal-Combustion Motor and Efficient Methods of Fuel Economy and Power Production In recent years, such marvelous advances have been made in the engineering and scientific fields, and so rapid has been the evolution of mechanical and constructive processes and methods, that a distinct need has been created for a series of practical working guides, of convenient size and low cost, embodying the accumulated results of experience and the most approved modern practice along a great variety of lines. To fill this acknowledged need, is the special purpose of the series of handbooks to which this volume belongs. In the preparation of this series, it has been the aim of the publishers to lay special stress on the practical side of each subject, as distinguished from mere theoretical or academic discussion. Each volume is written by a well-known expert of acknowledged authority in his special line, and is based on a most careful study of practical needs and up-to-date methods as developed under the conditions of actual practice in the field, the shop, the mill, the power house, the drafting room, the engine room, etc. These volumes are especially adapted for purposes of self-instruction and home study.
