Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Analysis of Fuel, Gas, Water and Lubricants The present edition has been expanded somewhat to admit of its being used as a text by students in Chemistry and Chemical Engineering in their Junior year. It is believed that the added material will still leave the work well adapted to the chemical status of students in Mechanical Engineering. For such students it is well to begin with the topic of Boiler Waters, since this serves as an excellent medium for reviving their elementary chemistry. For such students it will be found desirable also to devote two or three periods to a review of such topics as nomenclature, especially that relating to acids, bases and salts, also valence, reactions, solubilities, and a simplified arrangement of the periodic table which will set forth these properties for about 16 or 18 of the more common elements. This will include practically all of the chemical considerations likely to be met with in the study of boiler waters. It will have the further advantage of connecting many chemical facts with a topic of immediate interest to the engineer, and in such a manner as incidentally to advance him materially in the matter of his chemical information. The author is under special obligation to Floyd B. Hobart for his very efficient help in preparing the manuscript for the printer. He wishes also to express his appreciation for helpful suggestions and careful reading of the text by Dr. T. E. Layng and Dr. M. J. Bradley, also to Dr. R. E. Greenfield for reviewing the text on Boiler Waters and to J. M. Lindgren for helpful suggestions on methods for fuels and oils. Criticisms and suggestions from users will be especially welcome.
