Frontispiece.] 130-TON STEAM CRANE, ERECTED AT GLASGOW HARBOUR. (For Description, see Lecture XXVII.) ON APPLIED MECHANICS. SPECIALLY ARRANGED FOR THE USE OF SCIENCE AND ART, BY ANDREW JAMIESON, M.INST.C.E., PROFESSOR OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING IN THE GLASGOW AND WEST OF SCOTLAND ON STEAM AND STEAM-ENGINES, ELEMENTARY APPLIED CHARLES GRIFFIN AND COMPANY, LIMITED; EXETER STREET, STRAND. 1898. [All Rights Reserved.] PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. THE First Edition has been very carefully revised and considerably extended. All errors known to the Author have been corrected, and the Questions which were set at the 1898 Examinations of the Science and Art Department have been inserted at the end of the several Lectures to which they relate. PART VI. on HYDRAULICS and HYDRAULIC MACHINES has been completed by the addition of three new Lectures, which treat of the principles of Hydrostatics and Hydrokinetics, as well as many of their most important applications to hydraulic machinery. I am indebted to several firms for illustrations, to Mr. T. R. Murray for his kind suggestions regarding the Lecture on Refrigeration, as well as to Messrs. David Robertson, Junr., John S. Nicholson, and Chas. J. Sellar, for their assistance in connection with this Edition. ANDREW JAMIESON. THE GLASGOW AND WEST OF SCOTLAND TECHNICAL COLLEGE, September, 1898. b PREFACE TO VOLUME II. THIS Text-Book has been written expressly for Second and Third Year Students of Applied Mechanics. It, therefore, forms a suitable companion to the Author's Text-Book on Steam and Steam Engines. It also forms a direct continuation of his Elementary Manual on Applied Mechanics; for it covers the Advanced Stage of the Science and Art Departments Examinations, and treats on many points demanded by the Honours Section. It will, moreover, be found of considerable use to those who aim at passing the Advanced and Honours Stages of the same Examinations in Machine Construction and Drawing, as well as the Examinations of the City and Guilds of London Institute in Mechanical Engineering. At the same time, the treatment of the subject is sufficiently general to satisfy the wants of other engineering students, who do not happen to have these Special Examinations in view. The book has been divided into six parts I. The Principle of Work and its Applications. II. Gearing. III. Motion and Energy. IV. Graphic Statics. V. Strength of Materials. VI. Hydraulics and Hydraulic Machinery. |
