STEAM POWER INTO THE 1980'S

Fuel consumption for power ranges from 9,000 to 60,000 shp are shown, and the options available to improve performance at lower power are tabulated for the "MST-21" program. All these propulsion plants have been arranged to be capable of burning the degraded fuels expected to be available in the 1980s, and the characteristics of such fuels are shown. The economy of steam versus diesel is discussed and illustrated with diagrams showing fuel rate as a function of main propulsion horsepower. Order from NSFI as No. 17472.
