F. J. Brislee D epub An Introduction to the Study of Fuel: A Text Book for Those Entering the Engineering, Chemical and Technical Industries (Classic Reprint)

Outlines of Industrial Chemistry is to provide students and persons employed on the technical side of any particular industry with a handbook explaining the chemical aspect of the operations carried on in that industry. It is hoped, too, that the series may be found useful and interesting to many business heads and subordinates who are employed mainly in the office, but who still take an interest in the processes by which their dividends or salaries are earned. Only a slight acquaintance with chemistry is assumed on the part of the reader ;in fact, a principal object of the series is to provide a link between the elementary chemistry taught in schools and institutions which provide instruction up to, say, the matriculation standard of a modern university, and the larger text-books dealing with the details of the separate industries. In most cases these large works are quite beyond the intellectual and financial reach of those who enter industrial employment, and the result is that a clear understanding of the essential processes of an industry can only be obtained by slow absorption from the busy senior members of the staff. It is believed, moreover, that each volume in the series, though it deal with the chemistry of one industry only, will serve an educational as well as a purely utilitarian purpose. Examples which illustrate the general processes of deduction, and of the building up of an hypothesis or theory by the scientific method, may be drawn from the particular set of chemical facts to be met with in almost any one industry. Thus, while familiarising himself with just those phenomena which are of fundamental importance to him, the student will be learning how they may be correlated and welded together into a coherent scientific system.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, s
