| Summary | "Practical Hand Book of Gas, Oil and Steam Engines" by John B. Rathbun is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This handbook provides a thorough and practical examination of the construction, operation, and maintenance of various types of engines, including those powered by gas, oil, and steam. The book also delves into fuel types and their respective efficiencies, making it a valuable resource for engineers, students, and enthusiasts in the field of mechanical engineering and thermodynamics. The opening of the handbook introduces readers to the concept of heat engines, explaining how they convert heat energy into mechanical power through the process of combustion. Rathbun outlines the difference between external and internal combustion engines, discusses the properties of the working mediums, and lays the groundwork for understanding the efficiency and operational principles of engines. The initial chapter aims to familiarize readers with crucial terminologies and concepts related to heat and power, establishing a solid foundation for the detailed discussions on fuels and various engine types that follow in subsequent chapters.
