Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ...but the condensed steam is caught and weighed. The method of computing the quality of the steam from the observed data should be clear from previous articles. The following form for recording readings and results obtained with this calorimeter will be found convenient: SIBLEY COLLEGE--DEPARTMENT OF EXPERIMENTAL ENGINEERING. DETERMINATION OF MOISTURE IN STEAM BY CONDENSING CALORIMETER. Made By Ithaca, N. Y 191.. Type of Calorimeter Barometer inches Hg. Room Temp 302. Superheating Calorimeters.--These are of two forms, the external and the internal. The former is typified by the Barrus superheating calorimeter, the latter by the throttling calorimeter, of which the Peabody is the original example. Fig. 383.--Barrus Superheating Calorimeter. 303. The Barrus Superheating Calorimeter is shown in Fig. 383. The pipe carrying the sample steam separates into two branches, of equal size, one, H, carrying steam to be tested, the other, E, supplying the superheater G. R is a heater for superheating the steam passing through G. From G the now superheated steam passes through Q and / down through the jacket J, and out to the atmosphere through the orifice M. The test sample passes through the central pipe in J and out to the orifice N. M and N are of the same size. Conditions must be such that in passing through J the sample steam shall first be dried and then superheated by taking heat from the superheated steam surrounding it, and the latter must still be superheated when it reaches the orifice M. Temperatures are taken at A, B, and C, and either the pressure or the temperature of the sample steam must be accurately found. Theory of the Instrument.--The accuracy of the instrument depends in the first place upon the condition that equal weights of...
