Book excerpt: Excerpt from Factors Governing the Combustion of Coal in Boiler Furnaces: A Preliminary Report As a part of its investigation of the fuels belonging to or for the use of the United States and of methods of utilizing these fuels with greater efficiency, the Bureau of Mines has undertaken an investiga tion of the fundamental principles underlying the combustion of coal in boiler furnaces. A knowledge of these principles is requisite in order that furnaces may be properly designed and intelligently Operated. The efficient use of coal is dependent on proper furnace design as well as on proper firing and control of the furnace. Many furnaces are built without regard to the special characteristics of the fuel to be used, with the result that for years fuel has been burned in an inefficient and wasteful manner, and so as to aggravate the smoke nuisance.
