What reading level is Water-Tube Boilers; Based On a Short Course of Lectures Delivered At University College, London book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The two extreme outside rows are also made to form a tube wall, so as to reduce radiation. The hot gases which are allowed to enter among the nests of tubes pass up between these two tube walls to the funnel, situated above the centre of the boiler. The course of the gases will thus be seen to be parallel to the tubes throughout the greater portion of their length, an arrangement which is not so efficient for the extraction of heat from the gases as if the tubes had been at right angles to thei...r course. One great advantage of the Thornycroft boiler is its large combustion chamber, where the hot gases have an opportunity of becoming thoroughly mixed before being cooled down by contact with the comparatively cold generating tubes. In the earlier days of this boiler, Mr Thornycroft laid great stress on the tubes delivering into the top drum above the water level, and not below, as he considered that this arrangement ensured the direction of circulation being constant. From experiments that he made, he maintains that the circulation with tubes delivering above the water-level is double what it is in similar boilers, with tubes delivering below the water-level or drowned tubes.
