Page 54 - Divide the difference in temperature, between that at which the room is to be kept and the coldest outside atmosphere, by the difference, between the temperature of the steam pipes, and that at which you wish to keep the room, and the product will be the square feet, or fraction thereof, of plate or pipe surface to each square foot of glass, or its equivalent in icaU surface.
Page 9 - ... greater weight than the column fe, above that centre, motion will commence along the upper pipe from A to B, and the change this motion produces in the equilibrium of the fluid will cause a corresponding motion in the lower pipe from B to A, and in short pipes the motion will obviously continue till the temperature be nearly the same in both vessels ; or if the water be made to boil in A it may also be boiling hot in B, because ebullition in A will assist the motion.
Page 58 - ... surface was 76.7 square inches, holding 2.14 pounds of water and cooled from 180° to 150° Fahr. in 29 minutes, the temperature of the air of the room being 57° Fahr. By the same reasoning and method of calculation used in the foregoing examples we can find that the sheet-iron gave off 2.35 heat-units per hour per square foot of surface per degree difference of temperature. These cylinders were as nearly alike as they could be obtained in form and size, and one cover fitted all. They were suspended...
Page 60 - In order to ascertain the velocity of cooling for a surface of cast iron, Mr. Hood selected a pipe 30 inches long, 2^ inches diameter internally, and 3 inches diameter externally. The rates of cooling were tried with different states of the surface ; first, when covered with the usual brown surface of protoxide of iron ; next it was varnished black, and finally the varnish was scraped off, and the pipe painted white with two coats of lead paint. The ratios of cooling 1° were found to be for the...
