Excerpt from The Saturation Curve as a Reference Line for Indicator Diagrams Thus, let a: the quality as determined from the diagram, p the internal latent heat, 9 the sensible heat, for the given pres sures. The latter being obtained from a steam table. Then the total heat in one pound of steam will be are 9, which can be computed from the data at hand. If r is the total latent heat, the total heat available after condensation would be nor q. While the graphical method will not replace the more tedious and exact analytical one for all purposes, yet it is believed that it will give all the practical results which can be obtained from the analytical method with much less work and in general, in a manner which is more readily understood by the student in technical schools and I think will on the whole prove of some value to practical engineers. This, I believe, has not been the case with the analytical method of determining the heat losses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
