Excerpt from Heat for Engineers: A Treatise on Heat With Special Regard to Its Practical Applications The writing of this book was suggested to the author by dr. Silvanus P. Thompson, Principal of the City and Guilds Technical College, Finsbury, at which Institution the author has for some years discharged the duties of Lecturer in Heat, and has also conducted laboratory studies in this subject. The practical applica tions of heat in the various branches of engineering are now so numerous and important that adequate treatment cannot be given to them in books devoted mainly to theory. Such subjects, for example, as Refrigerating Machinery, Ice Manufacture, Cold Storage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
