Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book illuminates the diligent efforts taken by the US Fuel and Railroad Administrations during World War I to substitute local and regionally available coal sources for imported coals used in Midwestern gas manufacturing. These efforts stemmed from a patriotic desire to free up r…ailroad transport capacity for critical war purposes. The book provides compelling evidence that, while local coals yielded less gas than their imported counterparts and produced inferior coke by contemporary standards, their use was financially viable and offered a more reliable supply chain during periods of severe transportation disruptions. The author presents a detailed examination of the technical challenges and economic considerations associated with substituting local coals, providing valuable insights into the complexities of wartime resource management and the resilience of American industry in the face of adversity. This book offers a valuable contribution to our understanding of the industrial and economic history of the United States during World War I, with particular relevance to the coal and gas industries. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores water-gas production practices from 1918, comparing the use of coke and bituminous coal from the central United States as generator fuel for industrial water-gas production. It highlights the predominant use of coal and coke in early 20th century manufacturing and o…utlines the reasons for substituting bituminous coal for coke. The text uses real-world examples from twenty water-gas plants across the United States that had successfully transitioned from coke to bituminous coal, demonstrating a potential cost-saving benefit. Through operational data and case studies, the author reveals that while bituminous coal reduced production capacity by an average of 25%, the lower cost of coal, coupled with a reduction in necessary oil, resulted in lower overall manufacturing costs. The author concludes that these central district coals were successful substitutes for more expensive coke, providing new opportunities for industries using water-gas as a fuel source. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the methodology of using coal and coke mixtures as fuel to optimize water gas production. It provides invaluable insights, techniques and the author's approach to solving problems prevalent in the industry. The author begins by addressing the difficulties in persuad…ing gas makers to embrace change and outlines methods for gaining their cooperation. They delve into the mixing ratios of coal and coke then transition to selecting and storing coal. This book details how the author was able to control arching and caking in the generator, while also addressing reduced production capacity with coal fuel using usual operating methods. Unique and innovative methods like that of the blow-run cycle for increasing capacity and using the air purge are discussed alongside more common methods like smoke prevention and regulation of clinker from central district coals. This book's record of detailed experiments and outcomes provide significant insights into the complexities of using coal to produce water gas and are sure to prove invaluable to gas manufacturers everywhere. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
