Sida 72 - ... doubtless had much to do with the modern tendency to use preheated air for combustion to secure greater fuel economy. In steam boiler practice very high pressure has been found to help fuel economy, but in adapting common types of boilers to such high pressures certain difficulties were encountered. A Swedish inventor, JV Blomquist, solved the problem in an ingenious way by designing the steamraising elements as rotating drums, in a later design replaced by revolving sets of concentrically arranged...
Sida 73 - Ruths (d. 1935) designed a steam accumulator, fitted with a series of automatic regulating devices, which equalize all variations of the load on the boilers. This accumulator has been installed and successfully operated in the majority of Swedish pulp factories and in many other kinds of works. It has also proved useful as an emergency device at the end of an electric transmission line, interlinked in the system in such a way that, in case trouble arises, the relays, cutting out the line, automatically...
Sida 3 - Leith: Mining and Metallurgy, Vol. 13, No. 310. October, 1932, page 454. CHAPTER II NATURAL REGIONS OF TEXAS AND THEIR ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE "The natural resources that any given region of the earth provides for the people who dwell and earn their livelihood within its borders vary very greatly owing to differences in climate, soil, rock-formation, and other natural factors, and the history of peoples has been shaped thereby to a tar greater extent than their historians have in general been wont...
Sida 117 - Place where about 100 hands are employed. Places with a larger number of hands are marked with proportionately larger dots.
Sida 4 - ... derived products. In conjunction with these technical developments there occurred the all important progressive expansion in the markets, larger volume, better qualities, and greater diversification of products that can be derived commercially from crude oil. Economic Significance of Energy Resources "The birth of industry in the modern sense was contemporaneous with the discovery of how to generate mechanical energy on a large scale. Man's muscular strength is, of course, quite unequal to the...
Sida 39 - CHAPTER I TEXAS ECONOMIC GROWTH, AN INTEGRAL PART OF WORLD DEVELOPMENT "The spread of world-wide commerce brings countries together and in the vast process of the exchanging of commodities from one to another specialization is evolved, whereby each country is at pains to secure a place in the international market for the particular products that she has the prerequisites for producing to the best advantage.
Sida 79 - Sweden during the eighties of the last century, but did not come into general use until the beginning of the present century. The...
Sida 72 - ... (d. 1926), among them a copper-ore refining furnace embodying new principles by Ramen and KJ Beskow (d. 1928). In recent years there have been some very interesting developments on entirely new lines in ore prospecting. These geophysical methods, elaborated by H. Lundberg and K. Sundberg, are based on the fact that a magnetic or electric field, established between poles in the earth, undergoes certain deformations when ore lenses or the like are present. A careful study of such field disturbances...
Sida 73 - In all kind of steam-plants difficulties often arise from the fact that the steam consumption of the plant generally varies between rather wide limits and not seldom suddenly. The consequence is an expensive margin of steam boiler capacity and poor fuel economy. To overcome these difficulties, J. Ruths designed a steam accumulator, fitted with a series of automatic regulating devices, which equalize all variations of the load on the boilers. This accumulator has been installed and successfully operated...
