ECONOMIC RESULTS. 



Pounds of coal consumed per indicated horse-power per hour 2. 222 



Pounds of coal consumed per net horse-power per hour 3. 246 



Pounds of combustible consumed per indicated horse-power per hour 1. 789 



Pounds of combustible consumed per net horse-power per hour 2. 613

THRUST OF THE SCREWS. 



The net power applied to the propulsion of the hull by the two pro- 

 pellers, being 289.642 horses, is equal to (289.642x33,000=) 9,558,186 

 foot-pounds of work per minute, aud, the speed being 10.03 knots per 



hour, is equal to ( - - — ^ = J 1017.376 feet per minute; therefore, 



the resistance of the hull (and the equivalent thrust of the screws) at 



is.
