As will be explained later, it is customary, for the purpose of calculation, to reduce both Wand 2 to the equivalent evaporation from and at 212 F. ExAMPLE.--Find the grate area of an 80 H. P. boiler, evaporating 30 lb. of water from and at 212 per H. P. per hour, the rate of combustion being 12 lb. per sq. ft. of grate surface per hr., and the evaporation 1011-lb. of water from and at 212 per pound of coal. 1831. The heating surface of a boiler includes the entire surface of the shell and flues coming in contact with the flame and furnace gases on one side and water on the other; this includes, in the case of externally fired boilers, the portion of the shell below the fire line, portions of the heads, and the inner surface of fire tubes and flues, or the outer surface of water tubes. In the case of internally fired boilers, the heating surface includes the interior of the firebox, or furnace flues, and the inner surface of the tubes, if there are any. The area of the heating surface of each of the various types of boilers bears a nearly constant ratio to the grate area. The ratios usually adopted are as follows: Plain cylindrical boilers........................ 12 to 15 Cornish....................................... 15 to 30 Cylindrical flue................................ 20 to 25 Cylindrical tubular............................ 25 to 35 Marine fire tubular............................ 30 to 35 Marine water tubular.......................... 35 to 40 Locomotive tubular............................ 50 to 100 1832. From a large number of tests of horizontal tubular boilers, Mr. G. H. Barrus concludes that the ratio of heating surface to...

Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... the commutator are the source of much noise, but with a glazed smooth commutator and wellfitting brushes this need not occur. A newly-turned commutator will cause the brushes to " sing, " as it is never exactly true, owing to the "jumping" of the tool in passing from segment to segment in turning it down. To prevent unpleasant and even dangerous shocks, all electrical apparatus in operation should be handled with one hlafld only; that is, only one part of the machine should be touched at a time, and then only when the surrounding floor and the shoes of the operator are dry, or a dry piece of board is used to stand upon. The shock of any circuit of less than 500 volts E. M. F. is not dangerous of itself to a person in good health, but may often cause one to lose his balance and fall upon or into moving machinery, and cause serious injury. The voltage of most alternators and the larger constant-current machines is high enough to give a fatal shock in most instances. If necessary to expose one's self to the liability of receiving such a shock, a pair of rubber gloves worn on the hands will afford protection; but even then care should be exercised in handling the wires or in touching "live " parts of the circuit. N0'rE.--In case a person has been exposed to a shock so violent as to cause insensibility, he should be treated as if drowned; that is, his breathing should be kept up artificially, by alternately pulling and releasing the tongue, and raising and depressing the arms, with slow, rhythmical motions, until a physician can take charge of the case. All permanent connections around a machine should be kept firmly fastened, as a loose connection will frequently be the cause of much more serious...
