Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Calorific Power of Fuels: With a Collection of Auxiliary Tables and Tables Showing the Heat of Combustion of Fuels, Solid, Liquid and Gaseous
The books on fuels hitherto published in English contain only a few scattered facts regarding their calorific powers, how they are obtained, and the practical use made of them. Quite frequently these books are consulted for these facts, and the information they do contain is utilized to its fullest extent. It was thought that a book especially devoted to this subject containing all the reliable data might be of interest, and in furtherance of that idea this book is published.
