Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Comparison of Gas Engines and Steam Turbines as Prime Movers, and the Design of a Six Hundred Kilowatt Steam Turbine Plant
It was found from the Physics Department and the Engineer's office that the Physics building will have a possible power intake of eighty kilowatts, and the Administration building, thirty kilowatts. The building is carried at present, but only at times when the power plant is not heavily loaded.
Therefore, the load required by this building at times of peak load should be added to the present peak in estimating the future load. Although under ordinary conditions the maximum demand of the building does not occur at times of peak loads, it is possible on cloudy days for this building to require in the neighborhood of fifteen kilowatts in the morning and afternoon when the plant is most heavily loaded.
