239.25 lb. x 530 deg. abs. x 0.238 ...................... = 30,053
194.46 lb. x 17-1/8 x 530 deg. x 0.238,
the weight and heat of air....................... 420,660
194.46 x 14,544 units heat of combustion of carbon... 2,828,200
---------
Total energy 3,278,813
Heat absorbed in evaporating 26.08 lb. of water
in fuel............................................ -29,888
---------
Available energy.......................... 3,248,425
Temperature of furnace--
The whole of the fuel was heated up, but the heat absorbed in the
evaporation of the water lowered the temperature of the furnace,
and must be deducted from the heat of combustion.
Units.
Heat of combustion................................... 2,828,200
" " evaporation of 26.08 lb. water............... -29,888
---------
Available heat of combustion.............. 2,798,312
Dividing by 238.25 lb. gives the heat per 1 lb.
of fuel used................................... = 11,745 units.
And temperature of furnace:
11,745 units/(18.
