 RESULTS OF EXPEUJMENTS WITH A FIFTY HO USE- 
 POWER SING hi'] NON-CONDENSIXG BALL AND 
 WOOD ENGINE TO DETERMINE THE INFLUENCE 
 OF COMPRESSION ON THE WA TER CONSUMPTION. 
 
 nv I), n, JA<-'(»ni'». iiobokkn, n. .r. 
 (MemlHjr of the Society.) 
 
 In a paper presented to thiH Society at the recent Chicago 
 meeting by Mr. F. H. Ball,t a Uieory was advanced in regard to 
 the probable efFect of comproHsion on the economy of the steam 
 engine, ajid a law was suggested for determining the most eco- 
 nomical compression curvo. Bince that meeting, an opportunity 
 has been afforded, at tlio Htevens Institute of Technology, for 
 investigating this aul)jeet by experiment, and the following 
 pages are a record of the facts thus obtained. 
 
 The engine used for this purpose, which will be more fully 
 described further on, was provided with two valves for alternate 
 use, one of them being a special valve arranged for obtaining 
 full compression to initial pressure, as shown in Fig. 1. Owing 
 to the rather large clearance of this engine, it was found imprac- 
 ticable to obtain the cotn])ressi(m curve sought, if any later cut- 
 off was used than the one shown, giving only about 20 lbs. 
 M.E.P., and thus limiting the M.E.P. of Fig. 3 to about 30 lbs., 
 which is considerably below the rated capacity of the engine at 
 which it is supposed to give its highest economy. It was also 
 found necessary to reduce the pressure to about 71 lbs. to obtain 
 the desired compression, and the temporary foundation made it

2 EXPERIMENTS TO DETERMINE THE INFLUENCE OF COMPRESSION. 
 
 necessary to run the engine about 50 revolutions per minute 
 below its normal speed ; so that, because of this reduced speed, 
 the low boiler pressure, and the small load, the consumption of 
 steam per indicated horse-power per hour was considerably 
 above what might have been expected from an engine of this 
 class under more favorable conditions. These unfavorable con- 
 ditions, however, did not present any obstacles to the investiga- 
 tion that was sought regarding the relative economy of varying 
 amounts of compression. 
 
 The experiments prove that for either equal amounts of work 
 produced, or for equal points of cut off, the cushion stSam in an 
 engint should not be compressed as high as the initial pressure 
 but to some lower pressure in order to obtain the best economy, 
 thus verifying conclusions arrived at by theory in the paper 
 referred to. 
 
 The results obtained are as follows : 
 
 With a special valve in the engine, so arranged as to compress 
 the cushion steam to the initial pressure, and cut-off a*- one- 
 quarter stroke, the steam consumption was 37.9 lbs. per hour 
 per horse-power. 
 
 For the same work as with the special valve, and compression 
 to two-thirds the initial pressure, the steam consumption was 
 36.8 lbs. per hour horse-power. 
 
 For the same cut-off as the special valve, and compression to 
 about five-eights the initial pressure, the steam consumption 
 was 31.8 lbs. per hour per horse-power. 
 
 The cylinder dimensions were : bore, 10 inches ; stroke, 1 1 
 inches. Tlie ste i pressure averaged about 72 lbs. above the 
 atmosphere, and tne revolutions 250 per minute. 
 
 The average indicator cards for the three sets of conditions 
 are given in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. 
 
 The special valve released the steam at a later point in the 
 stroke than the regular valve, so that small corrections have 
 been made in the above figures to eliminate variations from this 
 cause, by extending the expansion line in each case to the end 
 of the card, as represented in Figs. 1, 2, and 3. A Barrus calori- 
 meter was employed to determine the amount of moisture 
 present in the steam, and the moisture was deducted to obtain 
 the steam used. In making the tests, the work developed 
 by the engine was absorbed by means of a Prony brake. The 
 exhaust steam was condensed in a surface condenser, and

 weighed. Indicator cards were taken every five minutes, the 
 indicator being cleaned and oiled between each three cards. 
 Readings of the revolutions, temperatures, pressure, etc., were 
 also made every Pve minutes. The water was c(^llected in 
 barrels, and weighed each fifteen or twenty minutes. The 
 weighings agreed very well among themselves. All tests were 
 
 an hour or longer in duration. In order to make certain that 
 the tests were long enough to insure the proper accuracy, the 
 steam per hour per horse-power was calculated for the first half 
 of five of the runs, and the maximum discrepancy between the 
 results for the first half of the runs and the entire runs was 
 found to be one-tenth of a pound of steam per hour per horse- 
 power, or about one-fourth of one per cent.- this is less than the

 poHJiible error, and thus provea that, the tests were of ample 
 length. 
 
 The results of the separate tests are given in Tables I. and II. 
 The tests made under similar conditions are seen to agree very 
 well among themselves, the greatest discrepancy being one per 
 cent.

 The averages marked a are for the first portions of the corresponding tests. These averages 
 are used in calculating the pevformances for the first portions of the runs, which are shown not 
 to vary over one fourth of one per cent, from the results deduced for the entire runs. This indi- 
 cates that the runs were of sufficient length. For comparative figures see Table V. 
 
 The Barrua calorimeter was attached in the main steam pipe 
 about three feet from the steam chest. The waste stoam was 
 carried off a short distance through a three-quarter-inch pipe, 
 which produced a slight back-pressure, so that the lower ther- 
 mometer read 213° when the exit steam was saturated. The 
 various percents of priming are given along with the average 
 data for the tests in Table III. 
 
 Table IV. gives the average heights of the indicator cards, and 
 Table V. the mean effective pressures and calculations of horse- 
 power. Table VI. gives the data observed, and Table VII. the 
 measurements of the indicator cards for one of the tests. 
 
 The indicator spring was tested over the entire range of the 
 indicator cards, and ill variations in the scale were corrected for

 A small variation in the amount of vv^ork done will cause a 
 greater discrepancy in the results than the difference between 
 the economy at full and for partial compression ; so that unless 
 the greatest care be exercised in performing the experiments, 
 the comparative results may be misleading.
