Steam, Its Generation and Use

"Steam, Its Generation and Use" by the Babcock & Wilcox Company is a detailed scientific book probably composed in the early 1900s that keenly examines the science, past, and technical details of how steam is made and how boilers work. It gives readers a look at how steam engines grew over time, supports the use of water-tube boilers, and stresses how important it is to be safe and productive when using steam systems. The beginning of this book explains the history of steam generation, talking about early inventions and people like Hero of Alexandria, Thomas Savery, and James Watt who made important contributions. It talks about how steam went from simple uses to more complicated and useful engines, pointing out the big steps forward in steam technology and shows why the Babcock & Wilcox boiler is a superior choice.
