TY - JOUR AU1 - Fellows, C. H. AB - THE DISSOCIATION OF WATER IN STEEL TUBES AT HIGH TEMPERATURES AND PRESSURES! By C. H. FELLOWS The advent of higher pressures and temperatures in the modern steam generating plant has made necessary a better understanding of the chemical phenomena associated with the production of steam under these new conditions. This is true not only in the large electricity generating plants where the production of steam receives a degree of attention comparable with that given the accumulation and distribution of its one product-electrical energy; but it is true, also, in steam plants of both large and small manufacturing organiza­ tions where plant design is showing a marked tendency to keep pace with the development of the art. Boiler scale, the steam producers' greatest enemy, has now to be fought in a new way. The weapons used are not new, but a new appreciation of the potentialities of those weapons exists, whereby, of necessity, the old rule-of-thumb methods of treating water to prevent scalf' in low pressure boilers has given way entirely to com­ plete scientific treatment based upon the chemistry of the changes that the water and its soluble salts undergo under steaming conditions in the more modern higher pressure TI - The Dissociation of Water in Steel Tubes at High Temperatures and Pressures JF - Journal - American Water Works Association DO - 10.1002/j.1551-8833.1929.tb17009.x DA - 1929-10-01 UR - https://www.deepdyve.com/lp/wiley/the-dissociation-of-water-in-steel-tubes-at-high-temperatures-and-JFMyJ36zpB SP - 1373 EP - 1387 VL - 21 IS - 10 DP - DeepDyve ER -
