ut 4 per cent. 242 ENGINEERING There is another class of diagrams very frequentlyencountered in which the terminal pressure is con-siderably below the compression curve, and in order tocompute the consumption rate by the above method itbecomes necessary to continue the compression curvedownwards… … FIGURE 83. is 8.5 lbs., and the factor for that pressure, accordingto Table 10, is 312.8. Dividing this number by the M.E.P., which was 7 lbs., gives 44.6 lbs. as the uncor-rected rate. The distance D to A, where the com-pression curve intersects the consumption line, is2.625 in., and the total…
