Excerpt from A Study of the Heat Distribution in Four Industrial Kilns
There is a decided lack of data in regard to the con sumption of fuel in periodic ceramic kilns, expressed in accurate terms, as well as with respect to the way in which the heat is distributed. It was hence thought advisable to undertake the examination of several kilns for the purpose of determining the ratio between theheat made useful and that escaping as waste. The kilns studied represented sev eral types and widely differing conditions, one of them being a sewer pipe, one a paving brick, and two, terracotta muffle kilns, entirely unlike in construction.
