Excerpt from The Economy Factor in Steam-Power Plants So far as is known, there is not another single volume comprehensively treating this subject, which in view of its interest and importance is a matter of much wonder. The data used in compiling this treatise has been carefully selected from the results of actual experiments, all mere reports and unauthentic results being absolutely discarded. It is believed, therefore, to represent the only authentic collection of data upon the eco nomic performance of the various power plant constituents. The principal use to which the method for solving for power plant economy described hereinafter may be put, consists in predetermining the results to be derived from various classes of power plants under differ ent conditions. These results may be used by engineering contractors in determining proper values for economy guarantees, by the consulting engineer in comparing the relative merits of various types of proposed installations, by the student in a study of power plant economics, and for various other purposes.
