THE subject of Liquid and Gaseous Fuels has, during the last decade, assumed such importance that no apology is necessary for the present attempt to treat the subject from a popular but comprehensive point of view. The develop ment of the internal combustion motor, the coming of the automobile, and the important part played by liquid fuel in the Navies of the world, make the present time one of the most interesting epochs in the history of power pro duction, and it is hoped that by bringing together the history and practical development Of the use of various forms of combustible liquids and gases for the generation of energy this book may do some service in the advance ment of the subject. Although the book is only supposed to treat of fuel in its liquid and gaseous form, it is so absolutely impossible to divorce these from the subject of solid fuel, which is in most cases the parent from which the others have sprung, that in order to retain the necessary sequence in treatment solid fuel has also been considered, in some cases, as with peat, at considerable length. There is not the slightest desire or intention in the authors mind to produce a book which shall in any way take theplace with the student of such works of reference as Sir Boverton Redwoods 11 Petroleum and its Products, Mr. E. Dowsons Producer vi INTBODUCTION. Gas, or Mr. Booths Liquid Fuel, but rather to give a general sketch of the whole subject and its bearings oil the power problems of the day, and to leave the student to refer to such standard works as may be necessary for the detail of various applications. In order to facilitate the study of any special branch of the subject a short bibliography is added, which it is hoped will prove of use for reference, and in which are included many works to which the author owes a debt of gratitude. The first three chapters of the work deal with the phenomena of combustion and the part played by the atmosphere, the formation of fuel in its various forms, and the methods by which we determine its value as a source of heat energy. In the next following chapters will be found an account of the production, properties, and use of the liquid fuels and their adoption as an auxiliary to coal in European Navies, whilst the subject of coal gas and the factors which have made it one of the most important of domestic fuels will also be found treated at considerable length. Water gas, both as a help to the coal gas maker and the engineer, receives due attention, whilst those gases which, although the poorest in thermal value, have proved themselves the most valuable in cheapening power production, are fully treated with in the section dealing with poor fuel gases and the suction plant. The last chapter deals with the future of the fuel problem and the probable lines on which a world, bankrupt in fuel, will find means of regenerating the energy which is essential tolife and prosperity, and it is hoped that the short discussion on the value of alcohol as a fuel in the INTRODUCTION. vii internal combustion motor may lead to an increase in the experimental work in this direction.
