✦ Synopsis

In the design and construction of a steam boiler, and in its operation, problems arise which must be solved, by the mechanical engineer, in their natural order before he can say with confidence that the best interests of the purchaser or proprietor of the apparatus are fully met in its construction and management. Such problems form the subject of this paper.

(1.) The ".E~ciency of the Steam Boiler" is the ratio of the total quantity of heat utilized in the production of steam to that set free in the combustion of the fuel. It has as the maximum limit unity. It is a function of area of heating surface and quantity of fuel burned, and of factors dependent upon the character of the fuel and of its combustion, and upon the design of the boiler.
