Canadian Electrical News and Steam Engineering Journal 1891 Vol 1 Classic Reprint by Chas. H. Mortimer Book PDF Summary
Excerpt from Canadian Electrical News and Steam Engineering Journal, 1891, Vol. 1 Now let us assume that an error of 50 pounds was made in weighing the water, so that the apparent amount of water evaporated was pounds, instead of pounds, the actual amount. So that the apparent evaporative performance of the boiler is pounds of water per pound of coal, instead of pounds, which is the correct result. The difference introduced by an error of fifty pounds in weighing the water, it will be seen, is only 02. Now let us make-a different supposition. Let us assume that the water was weighed correctly, but that an error of fifty pounds was made in weighing the coal, the apparent weight of coal being pounds. Then so that the ap parent evaporative performance of the boiler is pounds of water per pound of coal, instead of the true result, pounds. The difference in this case is quite appreciable, and the example shows that it makes quite a difference whether a given error is made in weighing the coal or in weighing the water.
