AN ELEMENTARY TEXT-BOOKONSTEAM ENGINES AND BOILERS,FOR THEUSE OF STUDENTS IN SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.ByJ. H. KINEALY.Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Washington University.
Illustrated with Diagrams and Numerous Cuts, Showing American Types and Details of Engines and Boilers.
This book is written solely as an elementary text-book for the use of beginners and students in engineering, but more specially for the students in the various universities and colleges in this country.
No attempt has been made to tell everything about any one particular subject, but the author has endeavored to give the student an idea of elementary thermodynamics, of the action of the steam in the cylinder of the engine, of the motion of the steam valve, of the differences between the various types of engines and boilers, of the generation of heat by combustion, and the conversion of water into steam.
Care has been taken not to touch upon the design and proportion of the various parts of engines and boilers for strength; as, in the opinion of the writer, that should come after a general knowledge of the engine and boiler has been obtained.
In the derivation of some of the formulæ in thermodynamics, it has been necessary to use the calculus, but the use of all mathematics higher than algebra and geometry has been avoided as much as possible.
An earnest endeavor has been made to present the subject in a clear and concise manner, using as few words as possible and avoiding all padding.

Mechanical Draft.BYJ. H. KINEALY, M. Am. Soc. M.E.Past President American Society Heating and Ventilating Engineers.
PREFACE.
In writing this book the author has assumed that those who will use it are familiar with boilers and engine plants, and he has had in mind the practicing engineer who is called upon to design power plants, and who must therefore decide when it is best to use some form of mechanical draft. The arrangement of the book is what the experience of the author in making calculations for mechanical draft installations has shown him is probably the best. And he has tried to arrange the tables in such a way and in such a sequence that they may prove as useful to others as they have to him.

CHARTS FORLow Pressure Steam Heatingfor the use ofENGINEERS, ARCHITECTS, CONTRACTORS AND STEAM FITTERS.By J. H. KINEALY, M.E.M. Am. Soc. M. E., M. Am. Soc. of H. and V. Eng’rs, &c., &c.
The author has long been in the habit of using charts to aid him in his work. Knowing the value of them in saving time, simplifying work and ensuring correct calculations he feels confident that they will be appreciated by engineers, architects and contractors, for whose benefit they have been compiled. Care has been taken to make the charts as clear and as easily understood and, above all, as accurate as possible. They have been based upon theoretical considerations, modified by what is considered to be good practice in this country.
Chart 1.—This chart is for determining the number of square feet of heating surface of a low pressure steam heating system, pressure not to exceed 5 lbs. per square inch by the gauge, necessary to supply the heat lost through the various kinds of wall surfaces of rooms. The chart is divided into four parts.Chart 2.—For determining the diameters of the supply and return pipes for a heating system.Chart 3.—For finding the number of square feet of boiler heating surface and the number of square feet of grate surface for a boiler that is to supply steam to a steam heating system.Chart 4.—For determining the area of the cross section of a square flue, or the diameter of a round flue, leading from an indirect radiation heater to the register in a room to be heated.
Full details are given for the use of these cards.
These four charts are printed on heavy white card-board and bound together with cloth, size 13 in. by 9¼ in., $1.00‡.

Gas Analyst’s Manual.By JAQUES ABADY, M. Inst. Mech. E.(Incorporating F. W. Hartley’s “Gas Analyst’s Manual” and “Gas Measurement.)”
The numerous requests received by the Publishers for the late Mr. F. W. Hartley’s “Gas Analyst’s Manual” and “Gas Measurement” form the justification of the present work, which embodies practically the entire contents of those two volumes. It has been found, however, that their scope was too narrow to comply with modern requirements in various directions, although ample at the time they were written, and so I have ventured to add such extensions as appeared to be necessary in order to meet the demand which exists for a comprehensive work on Gas Apparatus and its use.
This large work has been in course of preparation for the past three years by Mr. Jaques Abady, and has been very carefully revised by other experts.
Many valuable tables of data have been included, a number of which come from the private note books of the Author, being practically results obtained by him during many years of work as Expert, Gas Engineer and Gas-Works Materials Manufacturer.
