pressure is that corresponding to a change of one degree one way or the
other and differs considerably from the average value for the particular
temperature and pressure given in the table. The mean values given in
the table give correct results when employed to determine the factor of
evaporation whereas the actual values at the particular temperatures and

[Footnote 54: To determine the portion of the fuel which is actually
burned, the weight of ashes should be computed from the total weight of
coal burned and the coal and ash analyses in order to allow for any ash
that may be blown away with the flue gases. In many cases the ash so
computed is considerably higher than that found in the test.]
[Footnote 55: As distinguished from the efficiency of boiler, furnace
and grate.]
[Footnote 56: To obtain the efficiency of the boiler as an absorber of
the heat contained in the hot gases, this should be the heat generated
per pound of combustible corrected so that any heat lost through
incomplete combustion will not be charged to the boiler. This, however,
does not eliminate the furnace as the presence of excess air in the
gases lowers the efficiency and the ability to run without excess air
depends on the design and operation of the furnace. The efficiency based
on the total heat value per pound of combustible is, however, ordinarily
taken as the efficiency of the boiler notwithstanding the fact that it
necessarily involves the furnace.]

[Footnote 58: Where the horse power of marine boilers is stated, it
generally refers to and is synonymous with the horse power developed by

horse power but by specifying the quantity of water they are capable of
evaporating from and at 212 degrees or under other conditions.]
