J 602 booster engine

[NW Modeling List]

Hi Dave:

No hurry, and I appreciate your willingness to look as time permits.  I’ve never been afraid to buy a book or ten, so no worries on that count!

Best,

-Eric Bott

Eric,

I have some sources that may be helpful.  At them moment, my schedule is very fractured, but I'll try to get something together.  You're asking the same questions that I asked years ago and I found some good sources and answers.  Unfortunately they may be out-of-print-books but I'll see what I can do. The used book market is sometimes very useful, but don't pay collectors' prices (read HIGH) too readily..

Jimmy:

Thank you for posting the link to the C-2 Booster treatise.  Very interesting!

Does anybody know of any boiler design references or formula guidelines that the later US steam designers?  I'd be interested in N&W's especially, but any of Paul Kiefer's (NYC) or Altoona Works' (PRR) later design guidelines would be fascinating!  I'm specifically interested in these people's thinking about ratio of flue length to diameter, ratio of tube dia to flue dia, single-pass vs multi-pass superheater configurations, combustion chamber length considerations, etc.

Brent,
    Use the following links from the N&W Archives to find what you want about the booster on the Class J:
