Economic Aspects of Energy Generation: Progress in the Generation of Energy by Heat Engines
The writer gives estimates of the total of power-producing machinery used in the United States as of 1936 and discusses hours of use and kilowatt-hours of work done annually, showing the contrast between 1880 and 1936. The size and type of units with the average economies of various types of machinery are given. The influences of high pressure and vacuum and high temperature are discussed with prediction of economies now in sight. Thermal economy and commercial economy are discussed as well as the cost of installations over the period. Tables are given for the cost of steam power.
The internal combustion engine, Otto, Diesel, and solid injection cycles, are considered and the paper ends with a review of possibilities of other cycles and other mediums of heat supply. The conclusion is that steam will be the most used medium of power generation for the near future.
