Excerpt from Report on a Series of Red-Hot Furnace Crown Experiments, to Ascertain the Result of Injecting the Feed-Water Into a Boiler When Short of Water and With Fires Burning
The question was submitted to several engineers of experience, but though they were fully aware that the specific heat of iron compared with water was so low that no large volume of steam would be generated, all hesitated to give an opinion as to what might be the behaviour of the furnace crowns under such treatment, and could suggest no other method of solving the problem than that of instituting a practical trial.

Excerpt from Report on a Series of Red-Hot Furnace Crown Experiments, to Ascertain the Result of Injecting the Feed-Water Into a Boiler When Short of Water and With Fires Burning
To throw light on this subject, the as long since as 1867, conducted some experiments to ascertain the result of injecting cold water into some circulating household boilers when red-hot, and found that no explosion resulted. An account of these experiments was given in the Report for February, 1867 and repeated in the Report for December, 1878.

Report on a Series of Red-Hot Furnace Crown Experiments (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history and controversy surrounding the claim that showering cold water on red-hot furnace crowns within steam boilers can lead to catastrophic explosions. The author analyzes a series of experiments conducted in 1889 to determine the validity of this claim. The experiments revealed that, rather than causing an explosion, showering cold water on red-hot furnace crowns actually cooled them down, reducing pressure and preventing collapse. The book also explores the broader context of steam boiler explosions and the prevailing scientific views of the time. By challenging long-held beliefs and providing empirical evidence, this book sheds new light on the safety and operation of steam boilers, offering valuable insights for engineers, historians, and anyone interested in the evolution of industrial technology. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9780243090532_0
