This book was released on 2018-01-12 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fuel Wood Used in the United States, 1630-1930 As shown in table 4, about 70 percent of the estimated lumber in fuel was hardwood. This suggests an interesting contrast with the lumber-industry data, in which the aggregate cut from 1800 to 1935 had a hardwood component Of only 23 percent. Thus, on the basis of national averages, the fuel cut supplemented the lumber cut in the utilization of mixed forests. Each required principally what the other did not want. That happy condition did not exist in all regions. In the West far more and better hardwood would have been burned had it been available. The Central and Middle Atlantic regions, however, found it expedient not only to destroy much of the original hardwood on their agricultural lands, but to ship in scores of billions of feet of softwoods in the form of lumber.

Download or read book Wood Fuel Potential from Harvested Areas in the Eastern United States Classic Reprint written by Eugene M. Carpenter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-18 with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood Fuel Potential From Harvested Areas in the Eastern United States Two-thirds of the forest residue in the eastern United States is concentrated in the South where it is equally divided between softwoods and hardwoods. The remaining one-third of the residue is in the North and is 80 percent hardwood and 20 percent softwood. Material from harvested growing stock ac counts for nearly 75 percent of the total. Another 16 percent comes from rough, rotten, and salvable dead trees from which products were not taken. All of this residue adds up to 138 million tons of material per year that could be used for fuel if conditions and technology existed to get it out of the forests. Although wood is not the only answer to the world's energy problem, significant plant investments are being made to use it to satisfy industrial, utility, and municipal energy needs. This trend should continue as the price of alternative fuels increases and as the infrastructure to supply and utilize wood fuel develops.

This book was released on 2016-09-08 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wood Fuel to Relieve the Coal Shortage in Eastern Canada Astern canada is mainly dependent upon United States supplies for coal. War conditions have resulted in an acute shortage of coal pro duction and distribution in the United States, which, in turn, has caused a series of fuel crises in eastern Canada. The demands for coal for local industrial and domestic uses in the United States are so heavy that exports to Canada and other countries must necessarily be carefully checked and regulated. There is, to say the least, serious doubt as to whether the coal situation in eastern Canada can be improved materially during the continuance of the war, due primarily to the labour and transportation shortages, and to the enormously increased demand for coal for war purposes. As long as such doubt exists, prudence demands that all reason able precautions be taken to mitigate the disastrous results that might follow from an acute shortage of coal supplies.

There are two forms of the Open fire a possible third one, the gas log, being a subject on which the less said the better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Specific Heat of Wood A copper drying oven, liquid jacketed, was used to bring the wood to the Oven-dry condition and also to warm it before its introduction into the calorimeter. The oven was heated by gas. The jacket was filled with a mixture of water and glycerine, in about, the proportion Of 3 to 5, by volume. This mixture, when boiling, gave a temperature inside the oven from 5° to 10° above the boiling point Of water. A reflux condenser maintained the constancy Of the mixture in the jacket. The oven is shown in Plate I (frontispiece). The temperature inside the oven was determined by means of an ordinary mercury-in - glass thermometer inserted through the top of the oven, with its bulb free in the air, near the center Of the oven. This thermometer was calibrated in the oven against a carefully calibrated thermometer Of the same type, and was read to twentieths of a degree centigrade.

Download or read book Fuel Vol 2 written by J. S. S. Brame and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-12 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fuel, Vol. 2: Solid, Liquid and Gaseous With the exception of natural oils, the origin of which still remains uncertain, all forms of fuel may be regarded as derived primarily from cellulose, often associated with materials of a gum or resin character. During the life of a plant the green colouring matter of the leaves has the power, under the influence of sunlight, of causing combination between the carbon dioxide of the air and the water in the plant to produce ultimately the cellulose, which is the main con stituent of woody fibre, returning to the air the oxygen previously associated with the carbon dioxide. The wonderful mechanism by which these Vital changes are brought about is quite unknown, but the final result is threefold - the amount of carbon dioxide is pre vented from becoming excessive, which would be fatal to animal life, the renewal of the oxygen supplies is assured, and, what is of special importance since the change involves the absorption of radiant energy from the sun, available heat is stored up by the plant, which may be utilized afterwards by man for the thousand and one purposes for which he requires fuel. Cellulose, in the form of wood; peat, where the cellulose has under gone some slight metamorphosis lignite, brown coal, and finally, all the various kinds of coal, from highly bituminous to anthracite, certainly have derived their heat energy by this process, and whether we employ these cellulose derivatives in their natural form or convert them into forms more suitable than the original for special purposes, such as charcoal and coke, or employ them as liquids (tar) and gases, as is now such general practice, we are but recovering this energy stored up from the sun.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Text-Book of Wood Let me therefore commence by acknowledging my indebtedness to other authors, of whom there are some that I have consulted, about 300 being those on whom I have drawn. I am a compiler, and I am not ashamed of the name, albeit it is often thrown carelessly at a writer who, if only for his immoderate pains and extraordinary studies, deserves his hire. In my case I claim especial tenderness from the critics, inasmuch as I have travelled much on the Continent to con sult books in obscure and remote libraries and to see specimens in Museums. In saving them this trouble and in sifting many a heap of millet-seed in which there was after all, no pearl, I have done the English reader good service.

Download or read book Wood in Archaeology written by Lee A. Newsom and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-01-20 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Lee A. Newsom offers an overview of wood in archaeology --how and where it is preserved and analyzed, its relevance to paleoecological and paleoenvironmental questions, as well as its role as an important source of information in modern archaeological science and related historical disciplines. Her book addresses a range of questions about wood reliance practices, sustainability, and the overall relevance of forest ecosystems to past cultures and cultural evolution. Newsom provides a step-by-step treatment of archaeological analysis with clear explanations and examples from various corners of the world. She also shows how the study of archaeological wood is relevant to modern restoration ecology and conservation biology that tracks long-term ancient ecosystems, including questions of global change. Demonstrating the vital role of wood and timber resources to past human societies, her book will interest scholars and students of archaeology, historical ecology, paleoecology, and wood science.
