Page 240 - C.) to the weight of an equal volume of distilled water at the same temperature, both weights being corrected for the buoyancy of air.
Page 337 - CGS units of electromotive force ; and the " farad " is approximately --- of the CGS unit of capacity. For the expression of high decimal multiples and sub-multiples, we recommend the system introduced by Mr. Stoney, a system which has already been extensively employed for electrical purposes. It consists in denoting the exponent of the power of 10, which serves as...
Page 257 - Now, start the machine again and run until the behavior of the oil is determined, keeping up a free feed throughout the experiment. At intervals of one or more minutes, as may prove most satisfactory, observe and record the temperature given by the thermometer Q Q', and the reading indicated on the arc P1 of the machine by the pointer 0.

We are now all but unanimous in regarding this latter element of simplicity as the more important of the two ; and...
Page 29 - Three subdivisions of this class may be made, depending on the character of the face of the stones: (a) Quarry-faced stones are those whose faces are left untouched as they come from the quarry. (b) Pitch-faced stones are those on which the arris is clearly defined by a line beyond which the rock is cut away by the pitching chisel, so as to give edges that are approximately true.
Page 154 - The Heating Power of any Fuel is determined by calculating its total heat of combustion. This quantity is the sum of the amounts of heat generated by the combustion of the unoxidized carbon and hydrogen contained in the fuel, less the heat required in the evaporation and volatilization of constituents which become gaseous at the temperature resulting from the combustion of the first-named elements. It is measured in
Page 228 - The best mineral oil for light bearings and high velocities has a density of '871, and a flashing point of 262° C. (8) Mineral oils alone are not suited for very heavy machinery, on account of their want of body, but well purified animal oils are applicable to the heaviest machinery. (9) Olive oil stands first among vegetable oils, as it can be purified without the aid of mineral acids. The other vegetable oils which, though far inferior to olive oil, are admissible as lubricants are — in their...
