r to scale formedby inclined lines — compare Fig. 87, etc., in Chapter V. The contrast between characteristic steam-consumption curves forengine and for turbine is well illustrated in Fig. 341. The engine testsdo not run low enough to give a good comparison at light loads; butwhereas the two… … 0 Kw. 5000 10000 15000 Fig. 342. — Steam Consumption of 8000 Kw. Curtis Turbine, No. 31 in Table 20. Figure 342 is a simple plot of steam rate on output for a large tur-bine: it shows that Sk, after slowly falling to a minimum, rises ratherabruptly with heavy overload. Just how such an overload is…
