商品描述

The book describes the collection of the Museum Engines and Mechanisms of the University of Palermo, Italy, one of the most important and heterogeneous collections of engines and mechanisms in Europe, the first one in Italy to be awarded as Mechanical Engineering Heritage Collection by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers. Thanks to its numerous items, this book showcases the evolution of fluid machinery and applied mechanics, from steam engines up to turbojet engines, as well as hybrid system, giving several technical and historical information about its most important engines, which are described in detail through pictures and original drawings. The Museum preserves and makes freely available this almost unique collection of more than 300 engines, didactic models, and technical equipment, including various unique exemplars, continuously enhanced thanks to donations and through restoration activities carried out in a dedicated laboratory of the Museum. As a result of a great deal of philological research carried out on the documents collected in the Museum's archive, as well as in other institutional and corporate historical archives, this book serves as the reference tool of the collection and, more generally, of the Museum itself. Despite the technical subject and the academic environment in which it was created, the catalogue is realized to be read even by non-experts, offering different levels of detail, the first of which is the historical, economic and, in certain cases, even sporting context related to an engine, such as the vehicle for which it was designed and used.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書描述了義大利巴勒莫大學的引擎與機械博物館的收藏,這是歐洲最重要且多樣化的引擎與機械收藏之一,也是義大利首個獲得美國機械工程師學會頒發的機械工程遺產收藏的博物館。由於其眾多的藏品,本書展示了流體機械和應用力學的演變,從蒸汽機到渦輪噴氣引擎,以及混合系統,並提供有關其最重要引擎的多項技術和歷史資訊,這些引擎透過圖片和原始圖紙詳細描述。博物館保存並免費提供這個幾乎獨一無二的超過300件引擎、教學模型和技術設備的收藏,其中包括各種獨特的樣本,這些樣本因捐贈和在博物館專用實驗室進行的修復活動而不斷增強。經過對博物館檔案館收集的文件以及其他機構和企業歷史檔案進行大量的語言學研究後,本書成為該收藏的參考工具,更廣泛地說,也是博物館本身的參考工具。儘管其主題技術性且創作於學術環境中,該目錄的設計使非專家也能閱讀,提供不同層次的細節,其中第一層是與引擎相關的歷史、經濟,甚至在某些情況下的運動背景,例如設計和使用該引擎的車輛。
