Abstract
TWENTY-TWO years have passed since Prof. Barnard, of Cornell University, and Dr. Hirshfeld, of the Detroit Edison Company, brought out the first edition of their “Heat-Power Engineering”. In that interval power station practice has made enormous strides; stations are far larger, units more powerful, installations more complex and thermal efficiencies much higher. With these advances there is every need for frequent revision of textbooks, and in the rewriting of this work Prof. Ellenwood, also of Cornell, has collaborated.
