- 247 The total heat of steam is the sensible heat, or that shown by the thermometer, added to the latent heat; hence the heat necessary to evaporate water into steam at a temperature of 212 (which corresponds to a pressure of 14.7 lbs. per square inch) is 212
- 246 Among the most frequent questions asked in an engineer's examination are those relating to the safety valves of boilers.These questions may be easily answered from a study of the following: The safety valve is a device for relieving the boiler of ste
