The power of the steam-engine is measured by that of the horse. A horse-power, as fixed by Watt, is equal to 33,000 lb. avoirdupois, raised one foot high per minute ; and one day's work of a horse, is this power, acting through eight hours. The pressure of our atmosphere is reckoned as equal to that of thirty perpendicular inches of mercury; or 14-701b. pw square inch, or 11-55lb. per circular inch. To find the Horse's power of an Engine, according to the Rule given by Mr. Wait. From the Diameter of the cylinder in inches, sub- tract 1, square the remainder, multiply the square by the velocity of the piston in feet per minute, and di- vide the product by 5640. The quotient will be the number required. CONDENSING ENGINES. Proportion of the Cylinder.—The best proportion is when the length is twice the diameter ; because the cooling surface is then least, in proporton to the con- tent of steam. Proportion of the Air-Pump and Condenser.—In double condensing engines, these are made, by Boul ton and Watt's rule, ea«h to measure one eighth th« content of the cylinder.
