Excerpt: ... in mixing the hot gas at the centre with the cold film next the surface of the tube. Also in every horizontal tube there is a tendency for the gases to be cooler in the upper part of the tube and hotter in the lower, for the upper part of the tube extracts heat far more readily from the gases than the lower half. The twist of the retarder has the effect of repeatedly turning over the gas in the tube as it flows along. In the second place, the retarder acts by direct radiation of heat to the tube surface. While this action may not be apparent at first sight, it is of such importance that it should be clearly understood. To this end the fact should first be realized that the temperature of the tube surface exposed to the fire in any steam boiler is practically the same as that of water in contact with it, no matter what the temperature of the gas on the other side, supposing, of course, the tube surface to be clean. The reason is that water absorbs heat many times as rapidly as gas. Now suppose we place in the tube any solid body, of any shape whatever. Manifestly, as it is surrounded and bathed on all sides by gases at a temperature of say io00 Fahr., it will, if it loses no heat, soon become of the same temperature as the hot gases. Suppose the surface of the tube is of a temperature of 3000 Fahr., the hot body at the centre of the tube will energetically radiate heat to the walls of the tube and will materially increase the amount of heat transmitted to the water. Whitham's Experiments.--A trial of retarders on a 100 horse-power horizontal tubular boiler was conducted by J. M. Whitham, to ascertain under what conditions, if any, they would add to the efficiency of the boiler. The boiler was 60 inches diameter by 20 feet long, fitted...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Boilers and Combustion Unfortunately most of the books published are highly technical works dealing with what has been done and not with the possibilities of future development. This Spells a great danger to initiative - which is discounted to a great extent - by placing too much reliance on the past rather than encouraging a determined attack on future possibilities. A learned professor has gone farther than most in this direction when he asserted that engineers and boiler experts had been fostering wrong ideas in Spite of the fact that extended practice qualified present laws. His declaration that the theories accepted, and their laws, were utterly wrong, is a deduction from what his own experiments revealed.

Download or read book Principles of Combustion in the Steam Boiler Furnace Classic Reprint written by Arthur D. Pratt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-07 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Combustion in the Steam Boiler Furnace Specific fuel, and if such function is to be properly fulfilled, it is essential that the furnace Operator understand the broader principles involved in combustion. Unfortunately, from the standpoint of efficient steam generation, the statement is too frequently accepted as true that theoretical generalizations and mathematical formulae are of but little value to the operating engineer. To an extent, such statements may be true, but on the other hand it is to be remembered that combustion is purely a chemical phenomenon and as such can be properly investigated and controlled only by chemical means. Experience resulting from the cut and try methods of ordinary actual practise in the burning of individual fuels is unquestionably an important factor in the bringing about of efficient furnace results, but it is obvious that such results will be most readily secured when this experience is combined with a full knowledge of the theory of combustion and the proper application of the available methods used in obtaining combustion data. Further, the importance of such knowledge is today greater than it has ever been. Most apparatus for the generation of power has reached a state of development where there is but little likelihood of any great in crease in economy. The generally accepted types of steam boiler used in present day power plant practise have the inherent ability to absorb heat efficiently and from this standpoint may be included with the apparatus from which much more cannot be expected. If we accept this statement as true, the efficient generation of steam in the boiler proper becomes in reality a question of efficient combustion, and it is this phase of boiler practise the efficient generation of heat in the boiler furnace - in which there is the greatest and in fact the only field for appreciable improvement.

Download or read book The Steam Engineer s Handbook written by International Correspondence Schools and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Steam Engineer's Handbook is volume that began for tradesmen in the early 20th century. Small, straightforward and satisfactory to requirements. It begins with practical mathematical guidance which could benefit any elementary student of applied mathematics. Volumes of cylinders, cubes and oblongs and equations for the measurement of pressure within a pipe or boiler. The contents hardly stop there however, and the reader can expect a practical guide to relevant chemistry, a construction brief on the major types of furnace and stern directive on how to obtain quality steam. It is likely this comprehensive approach that kept this book in use for engineers until later in the century and keeps it relevant to this day. This book was intended to be, in its author's words, 'A convenient reference book for all persons interested in Steam Boilers, Steam Engines, Steam Turbines and the other Auxiliary appliances and Machinery of Power plants'. Calculated to be a handbook in the literal sense this book is academic without the faintest trace of elitism and optimistic about the possibility of solving just about any steam engine, boiler or auxiliary system problem. The scope was ambitious from the start but it keeps this book fascinating. At the time of writing these technologies did not simply heat homes, baths or meals for society. It pushed steamships across the Atlantic and powered cross continental trains to cut through the unbroken landscape. This technology was reaching the world and bringing it within our grasp. This book stowed away in the pockets of the engineers as they went. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Boilers This volume endeavors to furnish the reader with much new and valuable material on an old subject, together with much standard information which every engineer likes to have at his hand. A glance at the chapter headings will show the scope of the book. It will be seen that the subject is pretty fully covered from the working conditions inside of a boiler to simple talks on the various phases of boiler practice. It also covers the design of boiler furnaces for wood burning, and much other useful material. One very important feature is the portion on the safety valve based on Mr. Fred R. Low's supplement to Power on that subject. The author is indebted to Mr. Low for permission to incorporate this material in the book, and to various other contributors, whose articles have been used as a whole or in part in the work.

This book was released on 2018-09-24 with total page 958 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Steam Power Plant Engineering Such a plant has three essential elements: (1) The furnace, (2) the boiler, and (3) the engine. Fuel is fed into the furnace, here it is burned. A portion of the heat liberated from the fuel by combustion is absorbed by the water in the boiler, converting it into steam under pressure. The steam being admitted to the cylinder of the engine does work upon the piston and is then exhausted through a suitable pipe to the atmosphere. The process is a continuous one, fuel and water being fed into the furnace and the boiler in proportion to the power demanded.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on Steam-Boilers: Their Strength, Construction, and Construction, Economical Working As anything like a complete history of boiler progress is beyond the scope of such a small work as this, only a slight sketch of the salient points has been attempted in the first chapter. A complete history, accompanied by remarks pointing out the defects that have led to the disuse of many inventions connected with boiler work, would be of real service to many, for, judging by the frequency of the repetition of Old defects, it would appear to be even more important to know what to avoid than what to adopt in designing new boilers.
