Página 60 - ... molecules of all bodies are in motion, even when the body itself appears to be at rest. These motions of molecules are, in the case of solid bodies, confined within so narrow a range that even with our best microscopes we cannot detect that they alter their places at all. In liquids and gases, however, the molecules are not confined within any definite limits, but work their way through the whole mass, even when that mass is not disturbed by any visible motion. This process of diffusion, as it...
Página 205 - H and h being respectively the total heat units in steam of the average observed pressure and in water of the average observed temperature of feed, as obtained from tables of the properties of steam and water.
Página 326 - The second, or fan blower proper, consists in its simplest form of a number of blades extending radially from the axis and presenting practically flat surfaces to the air as they revolve. By the action of the wheel the air is drawn in axially at the centre and delivered from the tips of the blades in a tangential direction. This type may be simply designated as the centrifugal fan, or, more properly, as the peripheral discharge fan.
Página 151 - An opening in the crankcase of a gas engine to permit pressure therein to remain equal during the movement of the pistons. British Thermal Unit. The ordinary unit of heat. It is that quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of one pound of pure water one degree Fahrenheit at the temperature of greatest density of water. Brougham Body: A...

Página 25 - ... increase of heat. Though the above experiments are not as complete, in many respects, as they should be, I look upon this mode of testing coals as destined to furnish important information with reference to their coking properties and to their behavior in the blast furnace. It appears that in order to make a homogeneous good coke the fixed carbon of the coal must be of a kind that will melt at the lowest possible temperature, for if the process of coking produces the least pressure on the volatile...
