Synopsis
On Economy Of Fuel, Particularly With Reference To Reverberatory Furnaces For The Manufacture Of Iron, And To Steam Boilers by Thomas Symes Prideaux. This work is a compact, practical treatise on the economy of fuel in iron production and steam boiler operation. Prideaux argues that heat is the principal cost in manufacturing and champions the application of scientific principles to furnace management, heat transfer, and waste-heat utilization. The book covers the pursuit of perfect combustion, precise apportionment of air to fuel, and methods for employing inferior or slack coal, along with strategies for recovering waste heat via compressed air in reverberatory furnaces and in steam boilers. It introduces improvements in puddling furnaces, suggests heating the air under pressure, and advocates boiler designs that expand heating surface while maintaining safety. The Appendix broadens the scope to dwelling-house ventilation and the ventilation of coal mines, reflecting a broader concern for energy efficiency and public health. The author urges science-informed industrial progress and criticizes routine and habit that impede advancement.
