This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905 Excerpt: ...where the highest head available is 18 ft. Some of the values of efficiency obtained in these tests not only greatly exceed 80 per cent., but in some cases approach 90 or over. Polishing and smoothing of the surface of the turbine-vanes has been found to increase the efficiency in several instances. In the case of several American turbines taken to Europe and there re-tested, European methods being followed, somewhat lower values of efficiency have resulted. It is thought that the discrepancy is due to the differing modes of measuring the water used. The Jonval type of turbine, or "parallel-flow" variety, is manufactured by R. D. Wood and Co. of Philadelphia, Pa., and is sometimes made "duplex"; that is, the runner is provided with two concentric rings, each containing a set of vanes, the guide-ring being double also. When the supply of water is reduced, one ring alone is brought into action without sacrifice of efficiency. As already mentioned, the firm of Kilburn, Lincoln and Co., at Fall River, Mass., manufacture an outward-flow turbine of the Fourneyron type. See 75 and Figs. 17, 18, 19. 87. American Turbines. Historical. (See paper by Mr. Samuel Webber in Transac. Am. Soc. M. E. for 1905, abstracted in the Engineering News of Dec. 5, 1895; and also one by Mr. A. C. Rice, published in the Engineering News of Sept. 18, 1902, p. 208.)--During most of the first half of the nineteenth century the large mills of New England made use of the overshot and breast wheel for water-power; but in 1844 Mr. Uriah A. Boyden built and installed a Fourneyron turbine of 75 H.P. at Lowell, Mass., which on test yielded an efficiency of 78 per cent., a figure considerably greater than that furnished by the old-fashioned wheels in the neighboring fa...
