CHAPTER XIII. MISCELLANEOUS TABLES. Miscellaneous Tables. — The following miscellaneous tables may be classified into two divisions. In the first division are those tables which are especially related to the design, construction, and operation of both ice and mechanically cooled household refrigerators. In the second division are those which are only indirectly related to the subject of "House- hold Refrigeration." They pertain mostly to physics and mechanics. Table XCVI gives some summer temperatures for the different states in the United States. The second column gives the average summer temperature in degrees F., while the third column gives the maximum temperature in degrees F. Some temperatures by months in various cities of France are given in Table XCVII. The temperatures in this table are degrees Centigrade. The average annual humidities for various cities in the United States are shown by Table XCVIII. Table XCVIX shows average summer and yearly tap water temperatures for a number of cities. Table C gives the domestic water rates for a number of cities in the United States. This table includes the popula- tion of the various cities, the highest domestic rate per gallon of water, and the minimum annual water charge. Table CI gives some average figures for the household consumption of water per year for a number of cities. It will be noted that the average consumption of water for the cities stated per household is 6369 cubic feet. This is equivalent to 17.5 cubic feet per day or 131 gallons per day. 455 456 HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATION TABLE XCVI.— SUMMER TEMPERATURES IN THE UNITED STATES. (U. S. Weather Reports.)

This table is for various diameters of pipes, with certain initial water pressures, no back pressure, and through 100 feet of service pipe. Table CIII gives the list of cities which use electric cur- rent different from the standard alternating current, 60 cycles and 110 or 220 volts. TABLE CXVII.— TEMPERATURES BY MONTHS IN FRANCE.

Summer and Winter Tap Water Temperatures. — Table C shows the relative importance of tap water temperature and density of population in the important cities of United States and Canada. It is readily seen that the summer water temperatures are mostly under 75° F., while 80° includes nearly all of the important cities. In winter 65° is the maximum temperature reached in nearly all of the larger cities. In some parts of Texas summer tap water temperatures as high as 120° are reported. 458 HOUSEHOLD REFRIGERATION TABLE XCVIII.-RELATIVE HUMIDITIES IN VARIOUS CITIES. TABLt AL,vix ^^ ^ Weather Reports.)
