Steam Engine Economy. A Uniform Basis for Comparison
In writing a general report on the exhibits referred to the judges of Group XX, Centennial Exhibition, the writer compared the facts available in regard to the economy of steam-engines of various kinds on the uniform basis that the boiler is capable of absorbing 10 000 heat-units per pound of coal consumed. This corresponds to an evaporation of 8.99 pounds of water at 80 pounds pressure, 9.03 pounds at 60 pounds pressure, or, 9.08 pounds at 40 pounds pressure from a temperature of 100° in each case. This evaporation is higher than is usually obtained, but has been so much exceeded in practice that it is not considered too high for a basis of comparison.
