About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... TREATMENT OF AN INVENTOR BY THE ADMIRALTY. After a long and attentive study of the subject of Combustion and Economy of Fuel, during which I practically investigated the mode of action of most of the Furnaces used in the Arts as well as those of Steam boilers, I arrived at a clear perception of the important Fact, that, to obtain the best results from the combustion of coal in a Furnace, it is indispensable that it be furnished with an additional, but gradually diminishing supply of air immediately after coaling, which supply, lessening as the coking proceeds, and less and less gas is given off, shall cease entirely when this operation is complete; that, although hitherto hardly recognised or applied, this was in reality a General Law of universal application and vast importance, and based on the following considerations: 1. That coal is a compound combustible consisting of gas and coke. 2. That when a charge of coal is thrown into a furnace, the combustion of these two constituents does not go on pari passu. 3. That, on the contrary, the evolution of the gas (constituting what is called the coking of the coal), precedes the combustion of the coke. 4. That during the evolution of the gas, to effect its combustion, the furnace requires a much larger supply of air than can be advantageously admitted after the process of coking is completed, and solid carbon (coke) alone remains on the grate bars. 5. That a Furnace has no capacity for supplying itself with air according to its wants; but that. on the contrary, its own powers of supply, vary in an inverse ratio to its requirements. Thus, immediately after coaling, when an increased supply of air is required, to combine with the carburetted hydrogen gas so abundantly given off, the volume of air...
