Book excerpt: Excerpt from Engineering Chemistry: A Manual of Quantitative Chemical Analysis The preparation of this manual has resulted from many years of experience in the chemical laboratory, the work of which has been closely connected with engineering, and with the teaching of these subjects to students. A treatise of this character cannot be too comprehensive in the treatment of a subject, nevertheless better results are obtained, from students, by arranging the matter in such a way that the principles and methods of work are indicated and then references given for further study and research. Students commencing quantitative chemical analysis can with profit perform the first eleven exercises given in this work, with proper supervision, and then select a course of study suitable to their advancement: either for iron and steel chemistry; railroad laboratory practice; the technical application of water supply; the chemical technology of fuels, etc., etc. It will be found conducive to thorough work, that each student before finishing any investigation, be required to write not only the analytical data, but also the references to the literature bearing upon the subject examined, following the plan outlined in the manual. The articles upon gas analysis and valuation, blast furnace practice, the heating value of fuels, the purification of water for technical purposes, lubrication, car illumination, and the examination of Portland cement, have received especial attention, since these topics, at the present time, form a considerable portion of the work and investigations of engineers. The following articles have been contributed by experts in each line of study: "Blast Furnace Practice," by Edward A. Uehling, M.E. "Determination of the Heat Balance in Boiler Tests," and contributions of portion of the article upon "Pyrometry," by Wm. Kent, M.E.
