Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fuel Tests With Illinois Coals The Work of the department of Applied Chemistry has not only supplemented the work relating to boiler trials by furnish ing the composition and heating value of the coals used in these trials, but it has also examined and tested a large number of Illi nois coals not yet tested under boilers. In connection with this subject this department has perfected several new devices very useful to chemists and engineers, designed for making the ordin ary determinations of the heating values and composition of coals. The Parr calorimeter, one of these devices, has found ready sale among the operators of many of the power plants of the country as well as among the consulting chemists and fuel experts. It is expected that a separate bulletin will soon be published setting forth in detail many of the new methods which have been devel oped by this department, and giving the complete results of its investigations relating to Illinois coals. It is hoped that the tables of the Chemical composition and heating values of Illinois coals, which form a part of this bulletin, will furnish engineers and manufacturers with useful information in this important field. With the above somewhat general statement in explanation of the character of this bulletin, it may now be advisable to refer more in detail to the special features which are intended to be brought out in the following pages.
