The Evolution of the Parsons Steam Turbine: An Account of Experimental Research on the Theory, Efficiency, and Mechanical Details of Land and Marine Reaction and Impulse-Reaction Turbines - Cambridge Library Collection - Technology
Alexander Richardson
Charles Parsons (1854-1931) built the first practical steam turbine engine in 1884, remaining at the forefront of its development for nearly fifty years. Published in 1911, and with over 170 plates, this book illuminates the development of an invention that revolutionised power generation, marine transport and naval warfare.
