Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oil Firing for Kitchen Ranges and Steam Boilers The principal object now in view is to give a brief description of the combustion of heavy residues or fuel oil in a cooking range for culinary purposes. Some general remarks on the production of crude petroleum and fuel oil, together with other information relating thereto, is included, as, comparatively speaking, the average householder or hotel proprietor knows littler or nothing of oil for firing purposes. Previous to the war, fuel oil had not been used in the kitchen as far as the author is aware, and it was entirely due to the great scarcity and high cost of coal, brought about by war conditions, that means were devised for firing kitchen ranges with similar residues to those that are used for firing purposes in the furnaces of steam generators. There are many excellent liquid-fuel burners on the market for steam-raising and other purposes, but neither in design nor method of application do they conform with the exacting requirements of the domestic kitchen, in simplicity, reliability, cleanliness, and range of power. For the kitchen range, a burner that will give a continuous flame of small dimensions is a necessity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Fuel Oil and Steam Engineering: A Practical Treatise Dealing With Fuel Oil, for the Central Station Man, the Power Plant Operator, the Mechanical Engineer and the Student The rapidity with which the first edition of this book was exhausted has exceeded the fondest expectations of its writers. The field of fuel oil in its uses in steam electric generation, though an important one, is somewhat narrow in the number of people involved in its study. The early exhaustion of the first edition, however, has given the authors an opportunity to re-write the book and to add many new and interesting advances that have been made during the three year period since the first edition appeared upon the market. We are particularly grateful to Prof. L. S. Marks of Harvard University, to Prof. W. F. Durand of Stanford University; Mr. C. R. Weymouth, chief engineer of Charles C. Moore & Co.; Messrs. R. J. C. Wood and H. L. Doolittle of the Southern California Edison Company; Mr. E. A. Rogers, chief engineer of steam electric generation for the New Cornelia Copper Co.; Mr. E. H. Peabody, consulting engineer; Prof. E. H. Lockwood of Yale; Dr. D. S. Jacobus, advisory engineer of the Babcock and Wilcox Company; and Mr. J. E. Woodbridge of Ford, Bacon and Davis, for valuable information, helpful suggestions, and a kindly and encouraging attitude for further efforts in the compilation of this work. Many of the newer portions of this work have first appeared in print either in the columns of the Electrical World or the Journal of Electricity, and to these two publications we are grateful for the interest and kindly suggestions they have given to us.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oil Fuel Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio fields was considered too valuable to be used for any but refinery purposes, and, moreover, it was not adapted for fuel in its crude stages, on account of its light, volatile nature. With the opening up of the California, Oklahoma, and Gulf Coast oil fields, of Texas, Louisiana and Mexico-yielding a heavier product in enormous quantities, and one admirably adapted for boiler use - these conditions were changed, the consequence being a demand for oil, with all its advantages over any other commercial fuel except natural gas. The Texas Company was early in this oil fuel field, organizing in the year 1902. Since that time, by fair dealing and reliability, in connection with con stant attention to the demands of its customers, its present large oil fuel trade has been developed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fuel, Water and Gas Analysis: For Steam Users Team-users have shown a tendency in the past to neglect the boiler-house for the engine-room, and have concentrated their efforts for the improvement of the efficiency of the plant almost exclusively upon the latter. A study of the losses incurred during the conversion of the thermal energy stored in coal into the thermal energy of steam, will show that it is in the boiler-house that the greater preventable losses are occurring, and that the ratio may be expressed by the numbers 25 and 5. It is however, now beginning to be recognized that a scientifically managed boiler-house is a sine qua non for the economic generation of steam power, and considerable attention is being given by steam-engineers to this portion of their power generating plant.

BLUE BOOK OF Oil Burning and Burners HEAT AND COMBUSTION When we speak of fuel oil we generally mean the oil which is burned in the furnaces of steam boilers. The best engineer is the one who can make the most steam with the least fuel. Heat may be produced in many ways, but for the purpose of the marine engineer it is only necessary to consider the heat generated in the furnace by burning fuel oil and coal. The degree or intensity of heat can be measured by a thermometer or pyrometer. The quantity of heat necessary to produce a certain temperature is measured in heat units. The British Thermal Unit (B.T.U.) is 1/180 of the amount of heat necessary to raise one pound of water from a temperature of 320 F to 2120 F. Roughly one B.T.U. will raise the temperature of one pound of water one degree. Above 2120, water is changed into steam, by the addition of heat and the above definition is not true of steam. The best fuels contain the most B.T.U.'s per 1 pound. The average good steaming coals contain between 11,000 and 14500 B.T.U.'s per pound, while fuel oils contain as high as 20,000 B.T.U.'s per pound. Unfortunately, there is no quick practical method by which the engineer can judge of the quality of his fuel. The number of heat units per pound must be determined in a laboratory with an instrument called a calorimeter, and to be of any value the test must be very carefully 'and accurately made. Consequently the engineer must judge of the quality of his fuel by its actual performance in his furnace. But a knowledge of the fundamental principles of heat and combustion cannot fail to help in saving at the fuel pile. Heat is generated by combustion, or the burning of coal or oil in the furnace. Coal and fuel oil consist principally of carbon, ..
Download or read book Liquid Fuel and Its Combustion Classic Reprint written by William H. Booth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-18 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Liquid Fuel and Its Combustion The Author has endeavoured to connect the two practices, for in the present state of liquid fuel supply it is more than probable that its use will be parallel with the use of coal, especially in dealing with the sudden and high load peaks of electric stations. Liquid fuel cannot be universal unless the supply increases to many times what it is at present, and this points to a good future for the mixed system of firing, Oil and coal being burned together in the same furnace. It has been difficult to make a selection of apparatus to be described, but the Author trusts that he has selected a sufficient number of types practically to cover the ground and show the general trend of practice without unduly multiplying examples. Indeed the tendency seems to him to be in the direction of one general type. As regards special boilers, Oil does not appear to require anything more than what is required by coal, though coal is not treated to the necessary appliances, and oil is so treated, and gains success where coal is allowed to fail. Much that perhaps ought to appear in such a book as this has been omitted, as it appears to the Author that the question of draught, for example, is not of'the same importance with liquid fuel as it is with solid fuels. More might be said on the subject of flue-gas proportion, but this again has been so fully treated by other writers that it did not seem desirable at present to deal with it more fully. The most important detail of liquid fuel apparatus is the furnace and the provision of air, and of means to secure combustion and conserve temperature to enable combustion to be made perfect. Mr. Horace Allen kindly revised the section on gas analysis. Students of liquid fuel combustion will find enormous masses of information in the past volumes of the Engineer, Engineering, and other technical papers. Much of this information is duplicated and historical, and the Author has found it necessary to eliminate almost all such matter and confine his space to systems now living or of recent use, or of a form recognized as useful to - day. Undoubtedly Aydon and the late Admiral Selwyn did much to urge the use of liquid fuel, but the latter injured the value of his best work by regarding steam as a combustible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oil Fuel and the Empire In this country foreign Oil fuel is too dear to ow freely in industrial channels blocked by practically inexhaustible supplies Of home-produced coal. It is a commercial truism that it does not pay to send coal to Newcastle; to any one who has a knowledge of the geography of the world's Oil fields, and knows anything about Oil transport rates of 1907-8, it must be obvious that, this being a coal producing and not an Oil-producing country, it is hopeless to expect an early crystallisation of a commercial system in liquid fuel. It is no part of my duty to explain the commercial features Of the case in favour Of coal against liquid fuel. Inasmuch, however, as it is my intention to Show that Oil has considerable and undoubted economic advantages over coal in some Of the principal Oil-producing countries, and also in what I may call neutral territories, where the dominion of coal for marine purposes is no longer absolutely unchallenged, I think it wise to deal with this purely British coal-versus-oil phase of the subject before I discuss the progress and prosperity of liquid fuel in other parts of the world.
