Excerpt from Tables of the Properties of Steam and Other Vapors, and Temperature-Entropy TableThe Tables of the Properties of Steam were published in 1888, to accompany the author's Thermodynamics of the Steam Engine, in 1907 they were revised, taking advantage of added information then available, and a temperature-entropy Table was added to facilitate calculations for steam turbines.The properties of steam have recently been redetermined by new and refined methods, that are capable of great certainty and precision, so that computations based upon them Show a satisfactory concordance. These tables have been recomputed with this information, and may, therefore, be used with confidence and may be expected to have permanence.The temperature-entropy Table gives solutions of all adiabatic prob lems (and many others) both for saturated and for superheated steam with ease and precision, and permits us to make certain determinations not otherwise possible. For engineering purposes answers to such prob lems may in general be read directly from the table, greater refinement can be had by interpolation when necessary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
