Page 302 - That the quantity of heat produced by the friction of bodies, whether solid or liquid, is always proportional to the quantity of force expended.
Page 64 - The straight line or distance between the centres of the transverse lines in the two gold plugs in the bronze bar deposited in the Office of the Exchequer shall be the genuine standard of length at 62° F., and if lost it shall be replaced by means of its copies.
Page 64 - May one thousand eight hundred and twenty-five, the Straight Line or Distance between the Centres of the Two Points in the Gold Studs in the Straight Brass Rod, now in the Custody of the Clerk of the House of Commons, whereon the Words and Figures
Page 356 - RuhmkorfFs machine, the lower strata of the air forming an insulator, while the upper and rarer, and therefore electrically-conducting strata, may be likened to the secondary coil ; and the sun perhaps likened to the primary current which produces changes in the magnetic state of the core. If this...
Page 316 - H, of heat drawn from the source. 25. We may suppose the engine to consist of an infinite number of perfect engines, each working within an infinitely small range of temperature, and arranged in a series of which the source of the first is the given source, the refrigerator of the last the given refrigerator, and the refrigerator of each intermediate engine is the source of that which follows it in the series. Each of these engines will, in any time, emit just as much less heat to its refrigerator...
Page 305 - ... no change of temperature occurs when air is allowed to expand in such a manner as not to develop mechanical power.
Page 115 - On partially liquefying carbonic acid by pressure alone, and gradually raising the temperature at the same time to 88° Fahr., the surface of demarcation between the liquid and gas becomes fainter, loses its curvature, and at last disappears. The space is then occupied by a homogeneous fluid, which exhibits when the pressure is suddenly diminished or the temperature slightly lowered, a peculiar appearance of moving or flickering striae throughout its entire mass.

The following Table exhibits the dependence of the specific heat on the physical state of the substance : — SUMMARY. The heat which a body absorbs is partially used in raising its temperature. (202.) A body in cooling i° gives out just as much heat as it takes to warm it i°. (203.) It takes a different amount of heat to raise the temperature of...
Page 53 - ... while, according to Dalton, a gas at any temperature increases in volume for a rise of 1° by a constant fraction of its volume at that temperature.
Page 205 - ... 62. If the loss of heat from a wire per unit area of surface by radiation and convection be proportional to the excess of its temperature above that of the surrounding air...
