Page 5 - ... plate, the pressure on the hotter side must be greater than the pressure on the colder side. This difference of pressure will depend on the chemical nature of the gas, the mean pressure of the gas, the absolute temperature, the relation between the size of the pores and the density of the gas, and the difference of temperature on the two sides of the plate, but not on the thickness of the plate. Law III. For the same plate and the same difference of temperature, when the gas is sufficiently dense,...
Page 1 - ... combustion takes place is always the same for the same substance. The nitrogen reduces the temperature of the furnace, since a portion of the heat given off by combustion is required to heat the nitrogen. (1213) No. See definition of combustion, Art. 2OO3. (1214) See Art. 2OO7. (1215) See Art. 2OO8. (1216) The number of heat units required to convert a pound of water at 32° into steam at 400° may be found by means of formula 14O. H= 1,081.
Page 7 - ... the transmission increases at a. faster rate than the difference of temperature, so that it is nearly proportional to the square of the difference, as is shown by Blechyndeirs (T- ty experiments, which will be described later.
