Abstract
THIS book, by the professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Virginia, may best be described as an up-to-date heat engines text-book of an essentially descriptive character. It is intended as an introduction to heat power for second-year students, to show them "the how and why of machines and other equipment in which energy plays a part". As such, it should fulfil its purpose admirably, the subject-matter being presented and illustrated in a manner which makes its reading particularly easy and agreeable.
