Synopsis

This book is based on a thesis which presents an investigation into the effect of boiler scale on a locomotive boiler. The author conducted a series of tests to determine how scale impacts the evaporation performance of a locomotive boiler. The book discusses methods and the results of tests conducted on the same engine before and after the removal of boiler scale, with all other conditions during the tests held uniform. The author explores the various data collected, including relevant calculations made from the data, and presents summarized results and conclusions. The book includes in-depth data from each test conducted, including itemized performance and economic results for each test. In addition to the description of the methods and results of the tests, the book also examines previous studies and research conducted on the subject of boiler scale. The author discusses a variety of approaches to the study of heat transmission through tubes and examines the structural and chemical compositions of scale, and how the scale is impacted by moisture, temperature, and chemical applications. This book provides a comprehensive look at the effects of scale on locomotive boiler performance and is a valuable resource for engineers, scientists, and anyone interested in the optimization of boiler systems.
