381Fm. 361. 762 M.P. Fig. 360. intersections give the straight line of steam-consumption oa, becausethe steam-consumption per stroke is proportional to the terminalpressure in theoretical engines. 3IO steam-i-:ngine theory and practice. If tlie term T.H.P. be substituted for mean pressure, as may… … MEAN PRESSURE Fig. 362. then it may be stated that the total weight of steam used variesdirectly as the I.H.P., or, in other words, the weight of steam perI.H.P is constant at all powers when back pressure, friction, and allother losses are neglected. The oblique straight line obtained by plotting…
