TRANSACTIONS. 1.-On Steam-BoilersandSteam-Engines. By JOSIAH PARKES, M.1nst.C.E. I N a former paper" `` On the Evaporation of Water from Steam-boilers," I laid before the Institution several tables shewing the evaporative product of three distinct classes of boiler in common practice ; with remarks elucidating various phenomena which attend combustion, and the treatment of fuel. I now propose to investigate and compare the peculiar properties of those and other boilers, as exemplified in their practice; to show their points of agreement and disagreement ; to exhibit their respective merits and demerits as evaporative vessels ; to point out some general laws which may contribute to give greater uniformity to the results of evaporation from any assigned heated surface of boiler, and enable the employer of a boiler, not only to ascertain if he is using his fuel economically or wastefully, but to apply a remedy should he find his practice imperfect...
