Coal Consumpiion.—The pounds of coal per indicated horse-power per hour plotted against degrees of superheat are shownin Fig. 5. The pounds of coal per indicated horse-power perhour were obtained from the curves of Fig. 3, and the degreeof superheat was obtained in the same manner as for Fig. 4. The same pressures of 160, iPo and 200 were used in thiscomparison as in the comparison for steam consumption.
