This book provides a revolutionary method for engineers to calculate heat loss from steam pipes and boilers covered with any of the well-known non-conducting materials on the market. The method, developed by the great French physicist Peclet over 150 years ago, has been largely overlooked in this country until now. It involves the application of two physical phenomena: the emission of heat from a surface maintained at constant temperature, and the conduction of heat through solid bodies. The author has examined a large number of recent pipe covering tests and analyzed them using this method, showing how well calculations made by it agree with their results. Through the use of the formulas and tables provided in the book, engineers can now compute the loss of heat from a covered pipe or boiler under any conditions, greatly aiding in the design of efficient heating systems. 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.…
