Download or read book Coal and Coke Classic Reprint written by Frederick Henry Wagner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-11 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Coal and Coke The preparation of this book was undertaken in part because of the requests for information made to the author by numerous friends engaged in the manufacture of coal gas, and in part with the desire of placing before the American student of coal gas production, data in a concise form covering the various systems of coal carbonization. Baltimore was the first city in America to undertake to supply illuminating gas as a commercial commodity. The residents of this city were invited in 1816 to visit Peale's Museum to see the new burning air, the name given to coal gas by the advertising agent of the museum. This exhibition took place just six months after the daily papers had announced that Covent Garden Thea tre in London, as well as several streets in the English capitol, were illuminated by the burning of coal gas. Unfortunately, coal gas manufacture received a serious set back through the advent of carburetted water-gas, and this con dition has continued, until now approximately 75 per cent. Of the gas manufactured is produced in the water-gas generator. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Treatise: On the Manufacture and Distribution of Coal-Gas I have endeavoured in the present Edition to lay before my'readers the various improvements that have been made in the Manufacture of Gas since 1841, and I have to acknowledge the valuable assistance I have received from my friend Dr. Frankland, who has revised the chapter on the Chemistry of Coal Gas. To Dr. Lyon Playfair I am indebted for much important information; and Mr. William Pole has enabled me to perfect the subject of the Distribution of Gas through Mains, the chapter upon the theory of the motion of elastic fluids through pipes being entirely from his pen. It will be perceived that I have retained in this Edition descriptions of many portions of apparatus that have ceased to be em ployed: and I have done so simply that their history may be preserved, since it is often as useful to know what machinery is defective, as to be acquainted with that which is more perfect. The analysis of the various kinds of coal found in different parts of the world cannot, I think, fail to be of value. I have been careful, throughout the work, to enlarge only upon those points on which experience has enabled me to speak with certainty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gas Engineer's Pocket-Book: Comprising Tables, Notes, and Memoranda Relating to the Manufacture, Distribution, and Use of Coal Gas and the Construction of Gas Works In placing this compilation before his readers - and in particular, his brother Engineers of the Gas Industry - it may not be out of place for the Author to indicate the circumstances which have led, in the first instance, to the preparation of the Tables, Notes, and other matter comprised in the volume, and now to their issue in the present form. Having frequently during the course of his professional career experienced the want of any book containing those numerous tables, data, &c., which, with the spread of engineering knowledge, are every day becoming more and more necessary to the Gas Engineer for reference, he has for many years been in the habit of making and preserving, for his own use, full notes from every available source. These notes have formed the basis of the present work, and the fact that they were originally intended only for his own personal use has rendered it in many cases well-nigh impossible for the Author to acknowledge the sources of his information. He desires, however, to express here his indebtedness to both the Journal of Gas Lighting and the Gas World, whose full and careful reports, given from time to time, of papers read and discussions held at the various meetings of Engineering Societies, at which questions concerning the Gas Industry have been under review, have afforded him the means of obtaining a considerable portion of the matter here presented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Carbonisation of Coal: A Scientific Review of the Formation, Composition and Destructive Distillation of Coal for Gas, Coke and by-Products The Cantor Lectures which I gave in the winter of 1911 at the Royal Society of Arts, on the Carbonisation of Coal, brought me so many letters of inquiry on various points connected with the subject that I thought it might be of interest to some at least of those engaged in carbonising work if I took the lectures as a basis for a short treatise on the subject, and I think the absence of any book dealing at all fully with the scientific side of carbonisation justifies the attempt. During the last forty years I have been interested in many fuel problems, and have had the good fortune during that period to assist at the birth of most of the new departures from the recognised rut of procedure, and also, I regret to say, have been a mourner at the funerals of many.

This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Analysis, Technical Valuation, Purification, and Use of Coal Gas The condenser is essentially a quantity of iron pipes, which are in communication at the bottom with an iron chest-like receiver, into which the tar and ammoniacal liquor fall, and from which they run into subterranean stores, like large wells. The condenser acts by trans mitting heat from the gas and vapours within to the external air or water in contact with its outer surface, and by this the gases and vapours are cooled so as to separate the one from the other. The vapours become fluids, and fall into the wells; and the gases pass on to be purified, stored, and used. About ten feet Of con denser-surface for each thousand feet of gas made per day is allowed by the best engineers, but very wide departures from this proportion are familiar to all who are acquainted with gasworks as they exist in fact.

This book was released on 2016-10-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water-Gas Apparatus and the Use of Central District Coal as Generator Fuel By reason of the greatly increased cost of the gas oil used to enrich water gas, and the higher costs of coal and labor, many gas compa nies, especially those having franchises that call for the delivery of gas of a certain quality at a certain price per thousand feet, are having financial difficulties. Reconstruction of plants to manu facture coal gas instead of water gas is difficult if not economically impossible under present conditions. The situation calls for the use of practicable economies and methods. One of these economies is the use of cheaper grades of coal to replace anthracite or coke. In the course of its investigations for increasing efficiency in the use of fuel the Bureau of Mines has given attention to various problems bearing on the manufacture of water gas. This paper presents cer tain preliminary studies made while considering the possibility of substituting Indiana and Illinois coal for coke in water-gas generator sets.

Download or read book Water Gas and Its Residue Classic Reprint written by John Campbell Godbey and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-18 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Water Gas and Its Residue The manufacture Of water gas is rapidly becoming a prominent industry. As a means Of lighting and heating, the gas has already been accredited an equal rank with coal gas, and bids fair to supplant it. The present system Of carburetting has removed the dan gers Of poisoning from an odorless gas, and has also produced a yellow flame suitable for lighting purposes. It can be cheaply manufactured on a small scale as well as on a large one. The one serious drawback, how ever, is the comparatively useless residue which results from the process and which is known as water gas tar. Certain conditions in the manufacture Of the gas result in a large yield Of tar. Other conditions may produce a residue containing a high percentage Of lamp black. The density Of the tar seems to depend upon the kind Of Oil used, and the amount Of tar varies ac cording to the length of the run. These complica tions and the seeming relationship existing between the Oil used in the run and the residue have suggested a comparison Of the physical and chemical properties Of the oil and the tar. These investigations were begun in the laboratories of Vanderbilt University in May, 1909. The material was secured at the plant Of the Nashville Gas Com pany and was taken from time to time during a space of nine months. It consisted Of a number Of specimens Of Oil used on different days and the residue on those days. The portions used for the comparative results Of the physical properties Of the Oil and the tar were taken at the conclusion Of a day's Operating to makesure that the tar had come from a certain known Oil with which it might be compared. These precautions were taken because there seemed to be a difference in the Oils used at different times. The Oil used at the Nashville plant is all secured from the Standard Oil Company, and comes mostly from Indiana.

This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Production and Consumption of Mineral Fuels in Illinois, 1933-1964 Although different types of energy sources have been used to provide this total consumption, coal was the most important until,1952 Coal consumption rose to a peak in the 1920' s and then gradually declined. The new and increased uses and the substitution of petroleum products for other fuels had much to do with the relative decline in the importance of coal. In 1900, the national use of petroleum products was hardly significant, but since then their use has grown steadily and strongly. Today, petroleum products and natural gas each account for more energy than does coal. The importance of natural gas as a marketed product parallels the development of pipelines since World War II. In 1965, natural gas accounted for percent, crude petroleum percent, and coal percent of the energy used in the mineral fuels market.
