Horses' power for calculation of engines, 33,000 lbs. per minute, or 150 lbs. raised 220 feet per minute, or 24 miles per hour, therefore 152=37.5 lbs. = horses' power, at ten miles per hour, or 375 lbs. for ten horses, equal to friction of thirty tons, (taking friction at of weight;) say then Deduct weight of engine, tender, and water This assumption of the power is derived from the performance of engines in actual use, as follows: Work of DARLINGTON ENGINES, reduced to a level surface, the rise of this way averaging 1 in 246. HACKWORTH'S ENGINE. This engine's draught, as stated in the text, is equal to the following, upon a leveł EXPERIMENT UPON BOLTON RAILWAY, REPOrted by MR. SINCLAIR. 1017 lbs. x 8.8 miles = 89,496 lbs. + 12.5 lbs. = friction BOLTON ENGINE, WITH Eeight waggONS, AT SIX MILES PER HOUR. By experiment above, one load gross =8160 lbs. which × 8 waggons=65,280 lbs. Add engine Mass moved 89,136 lbs. +180495 lbs. = friction. 697 lbs. = resistance. 697 lbs. × 6 miles÷ 10 miles 418 lbs. 12.5 lbs. = friction In summer takes down 16 waggons, containing 848 cwt. of coals. 20 journies=51 miles per day, say 4 miles per hour, for 12 hours; or, allowing for 512+210=722 cwt. = 80,864 lbs.÷180=449 lbs. = friction. 365 lbs.÷124= Tons. 29 down. But as the rise on part of the road is not favourable, say the work, on a level, is 50 tons, at 5 miles per hour. Upon this basis, the work, at different speeds, is as follows: Now 50 tons, at 5 miles =101 tons, at 2 miles, and 101 ÷ 12 power. 85 horses (b.) REPAIRS, &C. OF LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE. A tube and chimney breast every three years or annually New chimney each year, and deduct old Set of chimney bars every two months Axles and brasses, one set annually Wheels, three sets of wrought-iron tire every year, deducting value of old Small repairs Add one fifth for spare engine £107 8 (c.) COAL FOR EACH LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE. = 30 x 3 = A ten horse engine will take 13 tons of goods ten miles per hour, and will go between Liverpool and Manchester three times each day 90 miles per day, and 13 × 90 = 1170 tons of goods one mile per day by each engine. 1170 tons of goods at 24 lbs.* of coals per ton per mile 2929 lbs. of coal per day, and 2925 × 912,600 lbs. per year 380 tons, or say 382 tons of coal for each loco motive engine per year. = The consumption of 24 lbs. per ton per mile, was determined upon from the following data: The average of the experiments made at Hetton and Killingworth in January, 1825, gave, for one ton of goods conveyed at the rate of 4 miles, per hour Mr. Blenkinsop's account of the consumption of his engines The Hetton account of the present engines on a level, at 4 miles per Mr. R. Stephenson's report of an experiment on the Darlington line, at 11 miles an hour But the data which were principally relied on, were the actual consumption on the Darlington railroad, furnished by Mr. Storey, from which it appeared, that 298 tons of coal were consumed by 4 engines in 2 months; and that the work done was 249,239 tons of coal conveyed one mile, or 2·16 lbs. per ton per mile. This was by engines with a single tube through the boiler. |
