Steam-Boiler Practice: In Its Relation to Fuels and Their Combustion and the Economic Results Obtained With Various Methods and Devices (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Steam-Boiler Practice: In Its Relation to Fuels and Their Combustion and the Economic Results Obtained With Various Methods and Devices
Steam-boiler practice as here comprehended is con cerned rather with the results obtained than with a detailed description of the methods and devices employed to secure the economical combustion of fuel in connection with a steam boiler. The design and construction/of the boiler, with its furnace and accessories, form the subject-matter of other works, and, therefore, do not require treatment here. Like wise special methods oi operation and devices for increasing the efficiency have elsewhere received their share of attention. There appears, however, to be a place for a work simple in its treatment and reasonably comprehensive in its character, which shall deal primarily with effects rather than with causes, which shall undertake to indicate the possible gain or loss to result from a given arrangement, and shall point the way toward securing the highest efficiency in steam-boiler practice. Such a work it has been the earnest endeavor to here present; a work neither too abstruse for the practical engineer nor too rudimentary for the technical student.
