Principles Of Mechanics: And Their Application To Prime Movers, Naval Architecture, Iron Bridges, Water Supply, Etc. (1874)

By William John Millar

Book Overview

""Principles of Mechanics"" is a comprehensive and in-depth book written by William J. Millar, originally published in 1874. The book covers the fundamental principles of mechanics and their practical applications to various fields such as prime movers, naval architecture, iron bridges, water supply, and more. The book starts with an introduction to the basic concepts of mechanics, including force, motion, and energy. It then goes on to discuss the laws of motion and their applications, including the principles of work, power, and momentum. The second part of the book deals with the application of mechanics to prime movers, such as steam engines and turbines. It covers the principles of thermodynamics, the efficiency of machines, and the design and construction of prime movers. The third part of the book focuses on the application of mechanics to naval architecture. It covers the principles of buoyancy, stability, and resistance, as well as the design and construction of ships. The fourth part of the book deals with the application of mechanics to iron bridges. It covers the principles of stress and strain, the design and construction of bridges, and the testing of materials. The final part of the book discusses the application of mechanics to water supply systems. It covers the principles of fluid mechanics, the design and construction of water supply systems, and the testing of pipes and pumps. Overall, ""Principles of Mechanics"" is a valuable resource for students, engineers, and anyone interested in the practical applications of mechanics. It provides a comprehensive and detailed explanation of the fundamental principles of mechanics and their applications to various fields.Thermodynamics, With Special Reference To The Steam Engine.
