The quantity R in this equation, is the whole resistance acting on an unit of surface of the piston, which comprehends the resistance arising from the motion of the useful load, which call g, and from the friction which may be represented by f+de, where f is the friction of the engine unloaded, and the quantity that that friction is augmented for each unit of useful load g; also, let h be the resistance from imperfect condensation, then

R = ç (1 + d) + ƒ + h.

Substituting this in equation (h), we have,

Equation (i) is one of Pambour's fundamental equations he determines by means of this equation, the load for a given velocity by finding g from it; g being the load or resistance for an unit of surface of the piston, the load on the whole piston is Ag.

and to find the evaporation of an engine to give motion to

a load g at the velocity v, we have from equation (¿)

[blocks in formation]

This gives the quantity of water which the boiler should be capable of evaporating per minute.

The useful effect which an engine can produce in an unit of time, at the velocity v, is evidently Agv.

To find the horse-power of the engine, we only need divide by 33,000: we have before observed, that a horse is considered to be capable of raising that number of pounds one foot high in one minute.

Pambour takes h=4lbs. per square inch, and ƒ=5lbs. and h +ƒ=4·5lbs. per square inch, or, 4.5 × 144648 lbs. per square foot, c=057, 1 + ♪ = 1·14 lbs.

From equation (e) and multiplying by l, we have

Pambour puts for p' the pressure P in the boiler, and calls it the velocity for the maximum of useful effect.

but this can only be approximate, for the pressure of the steam in the cylinder can never equal that in the boiler.

By differentiating the equation for a, he finds at what part of the stroke the steam should be cut off so as to render this useful effect a maximum*, which gives
