Pagina 137 - Since the specific heat of water is taken as the standard and is one, it may be said that the specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat required to raise or lower the temperature of one pound of the substance one degree Fahrenheit.
Pagina 412 - From A to B. Adiabatic compression from atmospheric pressure. From B to C. Addition of heat isopiestically. From C to D. Adiabatic expansion to a pressure below atmospheric such that we get.
Pagina 29 - Dalton's law of definite and multiple proportions has been ever since 1808 the corner stone of chemical science, and the atomic theory by which he sought to explain the law has exercised a profound influence upon all modern speculation. The other law, announced by Avogadro in 1811, that, " under the same conditions of pressure and temperature, equal volumes of all gaseous substances, whether elementary or compound, contain the same number of molecules...
Pagina 333 - FIG. 15 length of the diagram is determined by the lines LM and RW (Fig. 15), and is equal to LR. The area in square inches divided by the length of the diagram in inches, multiplied by the scale of the spring used, will give the mean effective pressure in pounds per square inch. Data Given. A — area diagram, sq. ins. L = length diagram, ins. 8 — scale of spring used. To Find— MEP = mean effective pressure. MEP = -' S Ju Examples. "A" Run No. 6: A = .84 sq. ins. L = 3.04 ins.

Pagina 509 - ... per cent., the dilution varies through but little more than 5 per cent. This is very striking, as will be noted again when the results of increasing dilution by neutral additions is taken up. There can be little doubt that the limits of combustibility is intimately associated with the per cent...

Pagina 92 - When the temperature at the time of measurement is below 60°, the same correction should be subtracted from the measured density. The corrected density should then be used in the table for finding the true percentage of alcohol. The percentage of alcohol found in a sample is always likely to be greater when determined chemically than when determined by the hydrometer, because the presence of impurities in the way of solids dissolved in the alcohol or as any of the series of higher alcohols tends...
Pagina 416 - If we add heat at increasing /, v, and T the curves of states will lie somewhere between the isometric and isopiestic on both diagrams and the cycle is somewhere between III. and II. If the heat addition took place at decreasing /, increasing v and y the curve of states would lie between the isopiestic and the isothermal and the cycle lie between III. and IV. We cannot, however, calculate the appropriate set of formulae without knowing the law of variation of states. The number of ways of variation...
