"Steam, Its Generation and Use" by the Babcock & Wilcox Company is a scientific publication likely written in the early 20th century. This extensive work focuses on the principles, history, and engineering aspects of steam generation and boiler technology. It provides insights into the evolution of steam engines, makes a case for the advantages of water-tube boilers, and emphasizes safety and efficiency in steam systems. The opening of this publication details the historical context of steam generation, including early inventions and contributions from various notable figures such as Hero of Alexandria, Thomas Savery, and James Watt. It discusses the transition from primitive steam applications to more complex and functional engines, highlighting the milestones in steam technology. This portion sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the technical requirements and mechanics underlying steam systems and introduces the significance of the Babcock & Wilcox boiler as an advanced solution in this field.
